I do not believe that writing native LaTeX code is difficult today, given the popularity of AI-assisted coding. In comparison, using a "compiler that outputs LaTeX code" may be less stable.

I used to take notes in latex. I was fast enough to do it with snippets etc. Just skip over mistakes and fix them later. So for that application I think AI assistance would still be not very useful?

Also if you were to do assignments with latex it could be sketchy too if the class prohibits AI and you "fixed" your code with some AI help.

It does not take some other language and compile it down to LaTeX. LaTeX itself is the source, and it goes through unchanged. What ExactTeX adds is a layer of checks and diagnostics based on the names and annotations you introduce. If anything, AI-assisted writing makes that layer even more valuable. Agents can generate LaTeX quickly, but they also make mistakes quickly, and an error like "Missing } inserted" is no more helpful to an agent than it is to a human.
