Given how much these CEOs are hallucinating these days while hopelessly losing money on every venture they pursue, I think AI is leaps and bounds ahead of these idiots for decision making.
Good point. Maybe not for the CEO yet, but a manager without people to manage is a useless thing. So I think corporates will invent new Bullshit Jobs[1] for humans, to keep them in their organization chart.
As with driving cars, even if the AI is strictly better at doing these tasks than they are at writing code, mistakes aren't so easy to recover from and can destroy something unrecoverably in a 5-second attention lapse from a human overseer.
So can software, if not more. Like, your healthcare data leaking, bank account losing your money, some legal document getting lost/wrongly issued, .. and then we didn't even talk about actual safety critical applications (which are hopefully not vibe coded) like airplanes/medical device, etc.
Well, the same goes for wrong code. One wrong line can cost millions or destroy everything completely, depending on the context. It is also not very easy to recover from.
I feel like management roles would be much more easy to automate than dev. It's hilarious how they're trying to sell these products. The only thing they couldn't do is go golf and drink half the time. They would be superior in that regard.

Apparently it's lots of fiduciary duties.
