Yes, in both cases it takes someone to steer. It’s not a complete solution. Someone who can’t drive can’t just ride a Tesla around town and someone who can’t program can’t vibe code anything complex.
But if it can do 90% of the work for you, it is a serious force magnifier.
You didn't mention it was rewriting the codebase from scratch. That's the consensus, that AI is only good at scaffolding.
Oh it can't do 90% of the work for you. It CAN type 90% of the work for you, but someone still has to read the code and know what the best course of action is, supposedly...... I suppose some people never learned to use their IDEs or to touch type so as to find LLMs such a crazy productivity boost.
