A non-engineer by definition would not be able to fix bugs.
But why does it matter that they won't be able to interpret anything? Just like with real engineers you can ask AI to provide an explanation digestible by an eloi.
A patient cannot become a doctor by asking AI to explain and prescribe treatment based on symptoms. That's what Simon is trying to say.
That statement is not being discussed as it is obvious. The question is "can AI be a developer", not "am I a developer if I use an AI who is a developer".
The answer to your question is "can AI be a doctor".

By the time a non-engineer has waded through all of those necessary explanations they'll deserve to call themselves an engineer.
You did not really answer the question. The part of the comment you replied to was there to illustrate the need for the question in the first place.
