I think that people who make these predictions are not very good at actual programming (taken in the more wider meaning)
The latest fad I remember (before ChatGPT) was that with BDD testing non-technical people would be able to write tests and we all see where that went
But most fundamentally, the non-technical people don't have the time nor the expertise to learn all the details needed for shipping software (and why would they? their job is to look at other aspects of the business)
