1. Having done my share of programming, I can say that a short conversation between engineers solves many problems.

AI is inherently unable to have the kind of "Aha" moment where an idea gets understood, and the best possible solution is seen.
I don't see AI being anything more than a GIGO generator if it's not working with human engineers.
There's no elegance in AI solutions; no creativity, no sense of ownership of the code it creates. How does something with those kind of limitations test the code. How can it really challenge what it has built?
End users are also a necessary part of the process.
We always had end users as part of our team, because nobody can break code better than someone who expectations of use aren't always in the build documents.
AI may be there some day, but not for quite a while. Right now it's dangerous to allow AI to do complex coding without human review and intervention.
