Actually I think that's the near future, or close to it.

1. Humans also need specific wording in order to program code that stakeholders expected. A lot of people are laughing at AI because they think getting requirements is a human privilege.

2. On the contrary, I don't think people need to hire AI interfacers. Instead, business stakeholders are way more interested to interface with AI simply because they just want to get things done instead of filling a ticket for us. Some of them are going to be good interfacers with proper integration -- and yes we programmers are helping them to do so.

Side note: I don't think you are going to hear someone shouting that they are going to replace humans with AI. It started with this: people integrate AI into their workflow, layoff 10%, and see if AI helps to fill in the gap so they can freeze hire. Then they layoff 10% more.

And yes we programmers are helping the business to do that, with a proud and smile face.

Good luck.




Your argument depends on LLMs being able to handle the complexity that is currently the MBA -> dev interface. I suspect it won't really solve it, but its ability to facilitate and simplify that interface will be invaluable.

Im not convinced the people writing specs are capable of writing them well enough that an LLM can replace the human dev.
