A farmer producing meat is a better farmer than me even if I hire my own farmer.

If we invent a meta-farmer profession (for those who hired a farmer) I will be great meta-farmer, but still suck as a farmer

But I don't want farmers, I want meat
I don't think that's the point. The point is that if you outsource thinking to a machine, you will lose your ability to think and reason on your own, and overtime become a worse engineer. Maybe the software ai writes will be fine, idk... But eventually, you will be an objectively worse engineer than someone that doesn't need a machine to think and write for them.
Sure you don’t need a farmer factory ?
Well clearly not, but you might need an AbstractBeanFarmerFactoryAbstractFactory.
