Yeah, the difference having a human in the loop makes is the ability to have that feedback. Did you think about X? Requirement Y is vague. Z and W seem to conflict.
Up to now, all our attempts to "compile" requirements to code have failed, because it turns out that specifying every nuance into a requirements doc in one shot is unreasonable; you may as well skip the requirements in English and just write them in Java at that point.
But with AI assistants, they can (eventually, presumptively) enable that feedback loop, do the code, and iterate on the requirements, all much faster and more precisely than a human could.
Whether that's possible remains to be seen, but I'd not say human coders are out of the woods just yet.
