That's been my thinking lately. The SOTA models are good enough that they "solve" coding but still need directing. The product is still important. Products are human too, and need human attention (still).

Maybe that'll change in the future, but while AI can make awesome images without a good "director" they're pretty cookie-cutter and bland.

Yes, I think we'll find that technical limitations were never the bottleneck. I work for a large corporation and that has been the case here so far. Yes, a lot of things are faster, but issues with product vision, roadmap and cross-team friction aren't gone. They are actually maybe even harder to get right.

Yep, agreed. Like seemingly is the general opinion, taste and direction I think still matter a lot. Efficiency in it of itself is kind of ”solved”, but effectiveness, doing the right things, is not.
