It's been like this since programming was "invented". Managers and business minds have, for decades, tried to remove the need for programmers. "If we provide a detailed enough spec, why do we need programmers?"

For example, COBOL's big shtick was that non-programmers could write code using a contrived English dialect, and things would work. Decades of no-code or low-code languages have come and gone. AI is just the hip new thing because it actually manages to produce results - just of dubious quality half the time.
