The problem is that AI code is painfully verbose and annoying to read. It's like having a coworker who's kinda shit at his job and who's PRs you have to review and try to get into reasonable shape by requesting changes again and again.

I don't know about you, but I'd rather just write the damn thing properly myself than have to deal with that.

Right, maintaining bad AI code is the new maintaining bad offshore code. I didn't want to spend my career doing the latter, either.
