Then why not just write the fucking code yourself at that point? This is like putting training wheels on a tricycle.
The same reason pair programming exists. You get a better outcome when you have someone (or these days, something) to validate and implement with.
Did you forget pair programming and pair planning exist?
I've written the fucking code myself for 30+ years. With AI, doing it right, fully understanding what it's doing, it's still 5x faster than doing it myself.
