The author makes an important point about ownership but that got watered down to code understanding and debugging. What matter is not just ownership of the code that got written, but also ownership of the problem identification and the choice of solution. I wrote about this recently from the slightly different angle of conversational tempo [1], but the shared crux is that we want AI to act as a cognitive companion and help us understand the situation, identify the problem and make decisions -- instead of the AI running off to prematurely "solve" the problem and then put the burden on the user to figure out what the hell just happened and how it was only marginally correlated with intent.
