How do the agent and human use cases meaningfully differ here, though?

I'm pretty sure GP's complaint is about the prose description, rather than the actual functionality.

I suspect it's much worse with agents. They tend to generate a lot more code and also more likely to make large refactors.

From the parent, making edits to different functions in the same file usually doesn't cause a merge conflict unless they're close together. Usually it's when you have the same lines being replaced with 2 different options.

I think humans naturally tend to try to avoid working on the same area of the codebase at the same time and have other mitigations like daily meetings to coordinate and organize.

That said, yeah, I think they're complaining about "slap AI on everything" as well
