It merely depends what we point the AI at whether we get full blown software engineering out it. I mean right now people only point it at tasks that can be written/watched, reasoned about easily, and then verified. There probably needs to be a jump to the visual spectrum like a wireframe overlay for code/projects which will allow humans to quickly verify what it is "thinking" architecturally. There just needs to be a lot more imagining of ghost features and trade offs somehow. People barely comment code let alone speak of all things that are being done away with.
