The examples given are using tools to do well-defined, repeatable processes. So far, despite many attempts by upper management to make software the same way, it hasn't happened, and AI doesn't appear to be any different.
I don't see a huge difference between people writing in a high-level language and people writing complex prompts.
As someone coding since 1986, I certainly see it on the time to get something done.
AI agents isn't coding in Common Lisp home made macro DSL, is me doing in one hour doing something that could have taken a couple of days, even if I have to fix some slop along the way.
Thus I can already see the trend that started with MACH architecture and SaaS products, to go even further decreasing the team sizes required for project delivery.
Projects I used to be part of a 10 people team, are started to be sized into 5 or less.
