As somebody with a colleague that is using AI agents to "complete features", let me tell you, it is not. It is taking that dude so much longer to prompt and reprompt and then prompt again until it is anywhere close to something that passes review than it would take any competent mid-level engineer to just build the whole thing with some autocomplete help.
Have people's standards for quality just completely vanished in the pursuit of the shiny new thing? Is that guy doing something wrong?
That has also been my experience with this sort of thing fwiw, which is why I gave up and do more of a class-by-class pairing with an LLM as a workable middle ground.
