In lots of jobs, the person doing work is not the one selecting text or the JIRA ticket. There's lots of "this is what you're working on next" coding positions that are fully managed.

But even if we ignored those, this feels like goalpost moving. They're not selecting the text - ok, ask LLM what needs refactoring and why. They're not selecting the JIRA ticket with context? Ok, provide MCP to JIRA, git and comms and ask it to select a ticket, then iterate on context until it's solvable. Going with "but someone else does the step above" applies to almost everyone's job as well.
