Can someone help me better understand the ultimate goal here? I'm thinking through the AI influence and how it would replace the engineers at my company and fail to see it. However, that is likely just pure ignorance on my part and I'm likely just missing the obvious.

Say someone from the business side wants an external Api implemented into some ingestion pipeline. What would this look like without engineers?

For the record, this is an honest question

I guess a new industry of "prompt engineers" comes to fruition that is just a middle man between the business and the AI. Because we know for 100% certainty that zero executives are going to spend the time to interface with these chat prompts to build the ingestion pipeline. The prompt engineers will just be what we called application developers.

Nobody knows. But the industry is very hungry for new revolutionary tech. So it doesnt matter.
