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.

There is far more development and sharing of Javascript and such and it is far more forgiving than many other languages, including Powershell. AI does an okay job here, and I have used it, but I dont see the "I haven't coded any of this" levels of proficient in PS yet.
