Not just any human either, but one with enough specific domain knowledge to understand subtle failures.
It’s why I strongly recommend against junior developers or anyone new to a language or framework to not use Copilot.
I call this the Babysitter Problem. There’s probably a more official academic term, but in general I don’t any of these vc funded ai startups are asking the right questions when it comes to UX.

Even when discussing the potential of applying LLMs to help make it easier for non-native speakers to fix grammar errors, there was the major caveat that the output would have to be carefully checked to ensure that it did not subtly change the meaning, which is something even I struggled with on my early papers, despite the benefits of being a native speaker, having natural general intelligence and domain knowledge.
