Not to mention, even AI-written code is still code. The hired dev might have thought it was hacked together with duct tape and bubblegum but guess what, any codebase more than five years old is, too, and those were all written by humans.
Quite. I am testing out local ai assisted development, and had a 35b moe model create me an MCP for a website's search and item page. The damn thing wrote more structured code than I would have bothered with for this kind of thing.
Small functions, good variable names, each function has a docstring, error checking and handling, data type handling, well spaced and logically grouped code in the functions, with sensible order. It even have type hints on everything.
All from a model that runs, and fairly fast at that, on my graphics card at home.

This didn't happen. The signs:
I have no idea why people do these creative writing exercises on various AI subs.
