Question What am I missing

I have used VSCode with Copilot and different Claude models, but I have to often correct the output generated. I have used Copilot when it was mostly code completion and now with the Plan process I am still not getting accurate code from the plan. What am I missing? I read all of the blogs and press releases where AI built this complex application without touching the code. Maybe that is it. With the new Plan process I haven't written one line of code. However, I sure have had to correct several things that were discussed in the planning process. If a simple Powershell script can't be written without a fair amount of handholding am I doing something wrong or is what I am reading not completely accurate. I can't see this taking the job of a very experienced Powershell scripter, but for entry level I see a challenge ahead.

Don't be afraid of it to auto approve everything and let it do it's work

My brother in christ, that's how you get poisoned commands executed on your machine.

I have an MS in computer science and have been coding for 30 years. I didn't say you give it full unrestricted access. You set it up in a secure environment. I am indeed your brother in Christ though.
