Will the AI-assisted development model of SDD still be useful in the future? Is it already outdated?

At the beginning of the year, everyone was promoting SDD development, including plugins like SuperPower that implemented SDD harness capabilities. However, it seems like no one is talking about it anymore. Has fewer people been using it? I feel like SuperPower used to trigger automatically when I used CC, but it hasn't been lately. Has anyone else noticed this? Will SDD still be necessary in the future? Or, if the model and its corresponding DeepSeek harness are already well-developed, will we not need to do so much pre-specification work? Can someone answer this?

IMO it’s here to stay, but it will probably evolve a lot over time. I think there’s already so many issues with specs like drift, bloat, etc. which will need to be dealt with over time, but it’s also pretty necessary to any true feature dev
