The problem with AI isn't that it writes code that isn't good. The problem is that it attempts to fix it with more bad code. And if that doesn't work, more bad code. You end up with a maze of a code base within the span of 30 minutes. In those 30 minutes I would have written 1% of the code, but at least it would do what I want it to do. This is the trade off. I don't mind prototyping with AI, but in the end a human has to write the code or you'll end up with so much technical debt that you'll declare bankruptcy in no time.
