Again it's not about typing speed. High level plans simply don't work very well, especially for big tasks where the optimal solution actually would take 2k lines. Unless you are building something that is extremely generic, AI coming up with the optimal solution rarely ever happens.

> He is either a liar or like many other people lacks skill in using AI

Not a liar, and I'm sorry to say, but AI really doesn't take much skill to use. People who say such statements give me the impression that their ceiling for skills is quite low.

Their are areas I do and will continue to use AI and it works well enough. Giving me prototypes for projects I don't have a lot of knowledge about is one thing. But I use those prototypes to learn.

> configure infrastructure

I make templates I can copy and tweak to do this faster than it takes to tell an agent what to do.

> database administration

Don't do that... Sure get it to write you some SQL to update a table, but don't give it DB admin access for fucks sake.

> deploy code

Tell me, how is your agent able to deploy code more effectively than hitting merge on a PR? Or do you simply mean setting up CI/CD for you? That's usually a set and forget thing that doesn't take much time, so I'd rather do it myself.
