The GP poster is someone who is familiar with the problems caused by AI writing code. For example: reimplementing major functionality because the AI isn’t aware of it (somehow). There are many tasks that domain-specific knowledge is required to successfully guide the AI.

Apparently this is not one of them, though, so it’s an interesting story.
