AI needs to be instructed and then some kind of verification of the output is needed. Programmers do that

Bad analogy. Compilers don't reason, they don't hallucinate. They take the language as given and "compile" it to the equivalent binary based on strict definitions in the language. It's reproducible and consistent. Saying they write code is factually wrong, at best they translate it.
AI will do the same thing in multiple ways or veer of course and do it another way based on spoken language with no strict syntax. It will make logical leaps, it will guess, it will assume etc.
These things are not equivalent at all.
