No, it is not. What you are doing is something not too different from asking your [insert here freelance platform] hired remote dev to make an app and enter a cycle of testing the generated app and giving feedback, it is not wrestling the computer.

For people like me, anything that makes the computer more human-like is a step in the wrong direction, and feels much more like wrestling.
