"AI is synonym of wanting to cut corners, poor quality, and to put it simply, slop"

A craftsman knows how to use his tools. You can with AI produce very complete, polished, maintainable and tested, secure, performant high quality code.

It does take planning and lots of work on your part, but there is a high payoff.

So many people just dump a one paragraph brainfart into a prompt and then label the AI "slop".

Slop in , slop out. Play silly games, win stupid prizes. Don't blame your tools. Sometimes, you are 'holding it wrong'.
