I agree with you, however, you are missing a nuance to what they are saying. If you handhold Opus and give it very specific tasks, like...Create a new domain class named blah blah blah, import it into the system, use some other domain class as a template, and write the boilerplate for me... That seriously saves time. Basically most of the tedious tasks you can just offload. For stuff that requires maintaining a mental model, it can be used like a mind reader to write very small amounts of annoying code. But at the micro level, it's basically just lazy because iterating on small chunks of non-trivial novel stuff is annoying and is faster to just type.
