I can see this being true for non-critical software like entertainment, media, and so on.

Definitely not true for systems where security stakes are high. Like banking, aviation, defense, etc.. AI will surely contribute but not independent of human engineering understanding.

In all those fields you mentioned, they have a lot of strict compliance measures and it is highly unlikely that AI will just be able to take over. Ironically almost all of aviation code is actually machine-generated using things like Simulink
