They don't learn by themselves, but you can add instructions as they make mistakes that are effectively them learning. You have to write code review feedback for juniors, so that s not an appreciable difference.

And that person is going to quit and you have to start all over again. They also cost at least 100x the price.

True but the tech is improving so fast that in a year we can probably get equivalent performance for 10-100x cheaper
