I'd argue that in a commercial setting, the measurable deliverable is ROI impact.
And that doesn't always come from building more software. That's where the craft is. AI just helps you build more software.

AI helps you build more software in the same way that a C compiler helps you build more assembler.
I spend far more tokens on specification and verification than I do on actual feature-code generation.
And with it a small team of 3 developed something in just a few weeks that would have normally taken us 12 months. And we are selling it for multiple-seven figures to customers who (by all rights) should have been able to token-gen their way to the same outcome, but haven't.
So there is clearly some value in the people, and clearly some value in the AI. But I think people are misplacing/misattributing which goes where, in some cases.
