I think the paradigm of reusable components /modules will stay.

No matter how cheap something is produced you'll still want to maximize the ROI.

A plastic cup might be much cheaper than a wooden cup, but only if it's mass produced. This requires an investment.

You won't easily throw a component away after the effort to show that it's bug free.

So maintainability will still be an issue.

My 2 cents.

Update

Additionally, a big part of my last job was to translate the fuzzy requirements of my clients into programmed tools which fit their internal processes.

Imagine an AI spitting out new tools on a daily basis. Do you also expect the users and processes to adapt on a daily basis?
