Giving someone AI and convincing them that they are now an engineer is just asking for a huge disaster.
As an experienced engineer and architect, I know that achieving something that works is not just about writing code, but about understanding the issue and understanding which decisions will cause damage in the long term and what will be appropriate for the solution to be flexible, not prone to errors, and capable of development.
I tell AI what to do, because otherwise it does something else, not what it should be doing, and it will never do what I want. Ask someone to paint something for you, and they will paint it, but it will not be what you wanted or imagined.
