> But... reviewing code is harder than writing code.

For me it's very clearly the opposite. I wonder if it's a professional background, or personality or neurotype issue or something, but when I'm faced with a problem I often get somewhat paralyzed, spending a long time thinking about a good approach, but when I delegate to someone or ask an AI to tackle it, even if I get back something half-shitty, it removes my paralysis and then reviewing and improving what they did is significantly easier (or at least more motivating) for me than doing it from scratch. And even if they ended up giving me something that's entirely in the wrong direction, and I need to throw out all of it, I still usually feel that it removes that paralysis and gives me a better understanding of the problem space.

I wonder if this difference between people accounts for a significant different between those who benefit from AI and those who don't.
