I wonder when a "virtual person" will be able to replace carefully-coded business software?

IE, before software automates a business process, it's typically done by hand, by a real person.

What if someone sells a "virtual person" that's capable of doing the job? What if that "virtual person" is harder to train than a real person, but orders of magnitudes easier than writing custom software or custom business rules?

More importantly: What if the "virtual person" can explain the job they do much better than trying to read source code? That's very useful in ~30ish years when the "virtual person" understands the business process better than the people in the company, and someone is trying to update / streamline processes.
