That's the point - it's a higher level of abstraction.

...not unlike say a boss telling a junior to change something?

The bet here isn't that AI can be as precise as something hand coded but rather that you can move up a step in the abstraction layer. To use his compiler example...I don't care what the resulting assembly instructions look like, just whether it works. It's the same thing here just one level higher

> That's the point - it's a higher level of abstraction.

That's not what abstraction is. When I type `echo Hello, World`, I don't have to deal with graphic drivers and test rendering to have the text on the screen. And I don't have to worry that "Goodbye" will appear instead.

Junior don't stay junior for long. And bosses usually give juniors less time to grow than people are allocating AI tools to actually prove themselves. Github copilot was more than 3 years ago. Today a new hire is expected to be productive on day one.
