This is a great example of there being no intelligence under the hood.

Would a human perform very differently? A human who must obey orders (like maybe they are paid to follow the prompt). With some "magnitude of work" enforced at each step.

I'm not sure there's much to learn here, besides it's kinda fun, since no real human was forced to suffer through this exercise on the implementor side.

Which describes a lot of outsourced development. And we all know how well that works

Using outsourced coders is a skill like any other. There are cultural things you need to consider etc.

It's not hard, just different.
