    have you seen some human written code before? Someone who knows what they're doing with AI can definitely generate better code

    1. it's not AI, it's statistical word prediction with ZERO understanding of context
    2. yes. statistical word prediction can be better than some idiot programmers. But I don't compare my kitchen machine skills with those of a toddler either.

    well, you're free to die on that hill I guess

    Taking what you give it into context it's kind of the whole selling point of LLMs. If you get garbage output maybe you're using it wrong. In the end it's just a tool, if you can't use it, that's on you.
