A non-engineer by definition would not be able to fix bugs.

But why does it matter that they won't be able to interpret anything? Just like with real engineers you can ask AI to provide an explanation digestible by an eloi.

A patient cannot become a doctor by asking AI to explain and prescribe treatment based on symptoms. That's what Simon is trying to say.

That statement is not being discussed as it is obvious. The question is "can AI be a developer", not "am I a developer if I use an AI who is a developer".

The answer to your question is "can AI be a doctor".

This doesn't make any sense: it's a question, not the answer. I don't see the relevance of doctors to the current topic anymore. Your initial reference made sense as an analogy (although the analogy itself was irrelevant), but the new reference doesn't make any sense whatsoever.

Apart from our discussion, I guess no one is reading our comments. Therefore, we should stop sharing our thoughts and analogies.

Nice conversation with you, Victor!

By the time a non-engineer has waded through all of those necessary explanations they'll deserve to call themselves an engineer.

You did not really answer the question. The part of the comment you replied to was there to illustrate the need for the question in the first place.
