The cost to create software hasn't lowered yet, and it is a stretch to assume new tools (which historically speaking are likely to cost more than they'll deliver, while being used anyway) will definitely make a dent in that. In most organisations software engineering cost doesn't have anything to do with available engineering capacity and is instead overhead from endless folks who want to have input on all decisions, which no amount of AI will solve (well, I guess something like Skynet would...).
