Not quite.

Let’s first agree that code is the final output of a software engineer, and that a wooden object is the final output of a carpenter.

A correct analogy would be, if a software engineer’s AI assisted output is reduced to assembling auto generated code snippets into a workable product, a carpenters is assembling ikea furniture.

The only missing piece is liability. The engineer and carpenter are both hired to assemble something, so they better damn well fully understand what they are delivering because they are being paid to own the liability if anything fails.
