Yes, but the difference is that an LLM produces the result instantly, whereas a human might take hours or days.

So if you can get the spec right, and the LLM+agent harness is good enough, you can move much, much faster. It's not always true to the same degree, obviously.

Getting the spec right, and knowing what tasks to use it on -- that's the hard part that people are grappling with, in most contexts.
