>So we replace the task of writing tedious boilerplate with the task of reading the AI's tedious boilerplate. Which takes just as long. And leaves you with less understanding. And is more boring.

These all sound like your projected assumptions. No, it generally does not take longer to review sizable code changes than it does to write it. This is further alleviated if the code passes tests, either existing or new ones created by the ai.
