I'm just wondering (without really being an AI fanboy, but using it daily), isn't the whole challenge just more prompting, such as instructing the agents to analyze the codebase, propose refactoring approaches, etc? Maybe it's a bit more sophisticated prompting than a non-technical person would do but prompting nonetheless.

I'm asking because I have read these comments here and there about fixing the mess AI made. I know what mess it usually creates and it doesn't get better with the new models. But I also know that whatever is created by AI kind of works more often than not, and once something breaks, it's just one prompt away to fixing it.
