Yes, but also no. If I prompt a graphics artist, "draw me a picture, any style, of a calendar with this day circled in red", you do not have to tell them what a calendar looks like, what the days of the week are, or how many there are, or that days in a month increment sequentially.

This applies equally to all disciplines: AI generated code regularly contains wtfisms that a human would not need to be guided from, or at the very least (more similar to the copyright problems) that experience and knowledge would drive them away from — and permit me to entrust, particularly more experienced — humans with a vague outline of the idea, and trust that the details will get filled in sensibly. "Filling in details sensibly" is where AI hallucinates the hardest. (And just to head off, "it's a one-off mistake!"
