From a user perspective, yes. The product is what it does, not how it does it.

But for the person building the product it very much is how it does it.

I think we (developers) need to get over that. Code was always the means to an end, which is providing a product to solve a problem, not the end itself.

The code is still the means to the end. AIs still write code, that is compiled and deployed and operated in some manner.
