Both of you are right. They can generate the code quite well, but well-considered UX is another thing entirely.

That's fair, I was considering just after I posted that I was framing this in a black-and-white manner. It leaves the reader to decide what it means for it to "work" or not. That might be a useful thing for people (including me) to consider when talking about this stuff. Where's the bar? Is the benefit worth the cost?
