I don't think that's true with current-gen models. You can even go so far as to write pseudocode for the LLM to translate to a real language, and for anything out-of-the-box my experience is that it will blatantly ignore your instructions. A baseline-competent junior at least has the context to know that if there are 5 steps listed and they only did 3 then there's probably a problem.

Prompting an LLM is definitely a different skillset from actually coding, but just "describing it better" isn't good enough.
