The OP's problem was treating the situation as two extremes: Either write everything myself, or defer entirely to the AI and be forced to read it later.

I was trying to explain that this isn't how successful engineers use AI. There is a way to understand the code and what the AI is doing as you're working with it.

Writing a spec, submitting it to the AI (a second-tier model at that) and then being disappointed when it didn't do exactly what you wanted in a perfect way is a tired argument.

Is doing that faster than just writing it by hand? Remember to include the time you need to review the code afterwards. The research so far says it isn't faster. Yet people keep doubling down on it and thinking winning an Internet argument is going to matter when it hits the fan in the near future.
