I never said it requires zero hand holding.

You are also strangely fixated on today's capabilities, completely missing the exponential we are on.

In a few months will have posts here from device driver writers explaining how they hooked up a phone to an Arduino and a video camera and how the AI is automatically writing device drivers.

I am talking about today's capabilities because this comment thread started with the suggestion that the benefits of AI for coding was no longer avoidable after the launch of Codex 5.3.

A few months? Almost zero chance. If it happens in the next 5 years I'd be less surprised, but I suspect it'll take longer.
