This doesn't make any sense. If the business can get rid of their engineers, then why can't the user get rid of the business providing the software? Why can't the user use AI to write it themselves?
I think instead the value is in getting a computer to execute domain-specific knowledge organized in a way that makes sense for the business, and in the context of those private computing resources.
It's not about the ability to write code. There are already many businesses running low-code and no-code solutions, yet they still have software engineers writing integration code, debugging and making tweaks, in touch with vendor support, etc. This has been true for at least a decade!
That integration work and domain-specific knowledge is already distilled out at a lot of places, but it's still not trivial. It's actually the opposite. AI doesn't help when you've finally shaved the yak smooth.
