The reliable layer that captures the data. That is what they bring to the table. For now.
Once AI can orchestrate and maintain a project with dozens of clients without slipping, they will be relegated to non-technical SMBs - many enterprises would just build their own shit. No contracts to sign. Full control. AI hosts and maintains. Great.
Then they might pivot to security (heck I would if I were in any SaaS business today).
The problem with this is that, as of today, no AI company will give you support if the AI generated product doesn't work, at least no company I know of. When we pay for a software product, we mostly pay for the support and accountability transfer to the provider.
I mean at least that's what we used to do. Nowadays support and software quality are so bad that maybe one should just vibe code everything. So I think I've come around to your opinion while writing this comment lol.
