For the time being, AI doesn’t have good access to a lot of things: customers, information in 3rd party systems, etc. Even when we give access (with MCP, for example), current AI has trouble locating the right information to solve a problem.
So I still need an engineer to find out why the distributed system isn’t performing correctly, or to create a new component that is coherent with the rest of the existing UI. The difference is that any particular engineer will find more success tackling a wider range of goals.
