In my company I would have told him to start doing some work and getting stories delivered or he's gone. Yes, he's being useful in assisting others but I can easily find someone who can do that and their own work at the same time. He doesnt need to be sat there with others the whole time. What is likely going on there is Tim is playing his boss, playing up his pairing role and its benefits in order to sit being idle watching others work while providing commentary.
Might it be that he’s so good everyone comes to him first and not you?
I would not hire him in my business regardless of how 'good' he thinks he is. I'm interested in people who can get work done.
I think you underestimate those who are both technically brilliant and empathetic. I sense you're at least brilliant

You still employ developers? You said AI made them irrelevant.
