You're basically becoming a manager. If you're wondering what AI will turn you into just think of that manager.

Imho this AI "revolution" will be the death of non technical middle management first.

Engineers who practice engineering (as in thinking about the pros and cons, impact, cost) will simply get to work closer with relevant stakeholders in smaller teams and the role of the project manager will start to be seen more of a barrier than facilitator.
