No, because the one who is writing the comment has context later reader dont. The writer knows what the requirements are, what he was trying to achieve and what he struggled to comprehend. Writer also presumably spent more time trying to understand it then the person coming later should.
Besides, it has always been like this. I sometimes can't even understand some of the things I wrote myself a couple of months ago, because I forgot the context. Good comments and documentation will help you re-acquire the context you need, not completely eliminate it.
>> This way, LLMs add a bunch of comments, but it doesn't affect your actual experience in trying to read the code
by saying that at least reading the code and generating comments is forcing some understanding. Is there a disagreement in that?
You're saying that it's not (necessarily) enough understanding, which may be true but beside the point.
