AI will not be developing features in enterprise applications and submitting pull requests. It will have a sidekick role to the developer providing aside such as code completion and saving you trips to Stack Overflow.

Feature requests and requirements are never so immaculately specified that the resulting code is objectively perfect. Edge cases, unconsidered situations, or integration flaws will always cause iteration and rollback in the development lifecycle. Identification of these defects and gaps will be a human exercise and the person in charge of correcting the software will be... the software engineer.

Whether you're using VSCode or VSCodeGPT, the code deployed and maintained for a business will be the responsibility of humans. They just may be more efficient in doing so because they leverage evolving tools such as AI.
