Who knows? It just needs to be better than the average engineer.

It needs to be better than the average engineer whose abilities are themselves augmented by AI.

It all comes down to a religious faith in AGI or not.

There can't be things that a human can program that AGI can not program or it is not "AGI".

While I am never a true believer in AGI, it seems to go I get a little faith when a new model comes out then I become increasingly agnostic the weeks and months after that. Repeat.
