The whole point of AI coding is (partial) decoupling of software from human coding.

You might as well ask what the ability is to create arbitrary images to any specification, if not painting? But AI image gen is not painting.

It’s painful and confusing to those who’ve mistaken the tool for the product. Why, you ordered that pizza for delivery, that’s not cooking! No, but it is eating.

Same thing with software. Some people just want the outcome, not the process, and it’s pointless to whinge about how it’s somehow less legitimate.
