Writing that abstraction can also feel BS.

The entire industry is BS all the way down
For the code questions that I ask, it is sometimes quite non-trivial to check whether the code is correct or not.
It never happened in my tests that it could correct incorret code that it generated. Typically, the bot then generated code that is wrong for sometimes a different and sometimes even a similar reason.

Again I disagree: the common case where you have to write BS code is when the abstraction is wrong. Implementing a proper abstraction that strongly reduces the BS code to write is the way to go.
