That's what I don't understand about AI coding fans. Instead of using a language that was designed to produce executable code, they insert another translation stage with a much murkier and fuzzier language. So you have to learn a completely new interface that is less fit for the task for the benefit of uncertain outcomes. And woe betide you if you step outside the most mainstream of mainstreams, where there's not an overabundance of training data.
It's because the AI coding fans already don't know programming languages, so they're learning a new language/interface either way.
That, and their software doesn't actually have any users, I find.
Unless you are the one paying for that person and they are not performing as by contract, even if someone needs an extra day off to chill, you should be happy they do take it as it creates an environment where you also could take it off if you so wished.
