Lots of times I could just write it myself and be done with it

Sure and lots of times I can walk places. That doesn't mean bikes, cars, trains and planes aren't incredibly useful. They let me achieve things I can't in other ways for example transporting cargo without a team of people to help me. Just like AI coding.
Yet replacing walking with cars is often cited as one of the reasons for many of society's ills.
There is a middle road.
America went full car to a point where just going to the shops from the suburbs is a car drive. Crossing the ROAD needs a car in way too many places.
There are cities where you can find a shop for essentials within walking distance, bigger shops need a short to medium drive, but can be still walked to if you really want to.
Yet no one seriously declares motor vehicles as useless.
Maybe your analogy holds if driving and walking took the same amount of time.
Plus "planning, implementing, validating, and reviewing" would be a bit like walking anyway in your analogy.
Would you still use your car if you ended up in the wrong destination half the time?
Yes, because I can drive to the other end of the state in an afternoon. Then if I get lost, I can just course correct.

Would you use your car if you ended up in the right destination 100% - epsilon of the time? Yes, you would.
Or do you suppose this is the best AI will ever get?
