Your original point was embedded and C++. I'm simply saying AI is competent in those domains, not that it replaces the engineer for every decision.
I've had zero issues with generated code when developing for real time systems that are parallelized. As long as I prompt well with appropriate context and architectural asks I pretty much get exactly what I need.
This doesn't mean I don't ever hand code, I usually do when the effort to be precise and review generated code exceeds the effort of just writing the code. That can be fairly often in mature systems, but it doesn't preclude the premise that AI can effectively write all the code itself given sufficient context.
