I agree with your sentiment but it actually occurred to me that code might actually be the reverse - where you can write more complicated code than you can read.
I guess it can go either way. Sometimes ChatGPT4 is great and saves me time, but the cycle of "explain what I want, get the output test/compile it, post the errors, try again" doesn't always converge quickly enough to not be more irritating than actually learning the issues in the code I'm trying to interface with. So I'll try it a bit, but if it goes back and forth more than 3 or 4 times, I'll give up and dig in to study the thing.
