Good engineers will produce more good code, because they ask the right questions, know what good looks like and check the output.

So what's the point then ?

There have been coding frameworks like game engines for decades, if system coding is beyond your ability.

If AI can't write usable code from the start its worthless.

Maybe you've misunderstood something.

No matter what framework or language you are using, AI can make the development process faster. It can help you debug a problem, write tests and refactor code. In some situations, it will be faster than writing code yourself, in others not.
