At least with current level of AI. When it works well, you just move it to a library and use it without worrying about implementation, like we do with all other library code. Using AI doesn't make the problem any easier for the developer. The fact that it generates functions for you is misleading, code review and testing is harder than typing. In the end we use AI in coding because we like the experience, it doesn't fundamentally change what kind of code we can write. It saves us a few keystrokes and lookups. AI might be useful in literature review stage, formal writing and formatting math. Who's gonna give millions worth of compute to blindly run the AI-Scientist? Most companies prefer to have a human in the loop, it's a high stakes scenario depending on cost.
