But those giant models get the boilerplate correct the first try! You're totally right though. My favorite thing to do these days is to hand craft the code in the middle of the app, then tell AI to make me a rest endpoint and a test. I do the fun/important part. :D

Though, that's coming from someone who can't justify thousands on personal hardware and is instead paying $20/month to Openai. Might as well use the best.
