These tools continue to increase in power. It’s incredible and there’s no use denying it. Asking people to read ai generated code will soon make as much sense as asking people to read compiler generated ASTs.
Soon, but not yet. At this point one should at least skim the code, and have a veritable zoo of validation and correction mechanisms in place (tests, LSP, complexity eval, completion eval, bot review, human review etc).
That said, if you spend most of your time sussing out function signatures and micromanaging every little code decision the LLM makes, then that's time wasted imo and something that will become unacceptable before long.
Builders will rejoice, artisan programmers maybe not so much.
