Well, it's where we are now with AI technology. Perhaps a superior future AI will need less of it. For now I give it all that I think it won't reliably figure out on its own.

It's actually where we have always been with software development, which is why so many software professionals think the media narrative is so stupid.

Oh, you want to fire your engineers? Easy, just perfectly specify exactly what you want and how it should work! Oh, that's what the engineers are for? Huh!

Yup, but the management, essentially the ones who control the hiring and firing, are more clued into the media narrative, with a bias toward dismissing what engineers think.
