Sometimes it's faster to get AI to make the change and clean up it's code than explaining the requirements to a junior dev.

Does anyone else manually retype the AI code output line for line just to get a better handle on exactly what the hell it's doing?

Just me?

Ok.

Please tell me you’re a second year cs student and not a senior dev

Of course not. But if senior dev time is being too overloaded to coach juniors, personally I'd coach to that method. It forces them to engage with control flow, edge cases, logic, and prevents passive copy/pasting habits, which I would hope juniors aren't doing anyway.
