There is a part of this that is true. But when you get the nuanced parts of every "replicated design" or need the tweaks or what the AI gave you is just wrong, that deteriorates quality.

For many tasks it is ok, for others it is just a NO.

For software maintenance and evolution I think it won't cut it.

The same way a Wordpress website can do a set of useful things. But when you need something specific, you just drop to programming.

You can have your e-commerce web. But you cannot ask it to give you a "pipeline excution as fast as possible for calculating and solving math for engineering task X". That needs SIMD, parallelization, understanding the niche use you need, etc. which probably most people do not do all the time and requires specific knowledge.
