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.
