So what's the point of the tool then? So much for saving time, if I have to mentor it like a junior I much rather have a person to mentor

That was how I understood "code was never the bottleneck". If I need a deep understanding of the code, I might as well write it myself. It won't increase the time I need for the task appreciably.

Exactly, same thing with considering AI a higher level language. If I have to think of all the corner cases and design choices in plain English, then I much rather use a programming language whose main purpose is exactly to define cases and behavior of your design
