This is satire / trolling for sure.
LLMs aren't really at the point where they can spit out an entire program, including handling deployment, environments, etc. without human intervention.
If this person is 'not technical' they wouldn't have been able to successfully deploy and interconnect all of the pieces needed.
The AI may have been able to spit out snippets, and those snippets may be very useful, but where it stands, it's just not going to be able to, with no human supervision/overrides, write the software, stand up the DB, and deploy all of the services needed. With human guidance sure, but with out someone holding the AIs hand it just won't happen (remember this person is 'not technical')
How? We try to adopt AI for dev work for years now and every time the next gen tool or model gets released it fails spectacularly at basic things. And that's just the technical stuff, I still have no idea on how to tell it do implement our use cases as it simply does not understand the domain.
It is great at building things other have already built and it could train on but we don't really have a use case for that.
