Well it's less mental load. It's like Tesla's FSD. Am I a better driver than the FSD? For sure. But is it nice to just sit back and let it drive for a bit even if it's suboptimal and gets me there 10% slower, and maybe slightly pisses off the guy behind me? Yes, nice enough to shell out $99/mo. Code implementation takes a toll on you in the same way that driving does.

I think the method in TFA is overall less stressful for the dev. And you can always fix it up manually in the end; AI coding vs manual coding is not either-or.
