Dunno man, the articles ai writes are empty cardboard crap, and the code it produces is hot garbage. “Cleaner upper of AI messes” might be a good future skill to have.

I don't think you can dismiss the output quality so easily.

Give yourself a few hours to write out some code in the old way. Can you really tell me that you could not have done a better job with AI in the same time?

Eg, implement chess or poker games.

Or write a component like a Swiss table.

It's not obvious to me that AI produces bad work at all.

That’s the thing - many times it’s not obvious. But go check that chunk of code that, sure, works, and you’ll find subtleties that just don’t look right. But hey - you do you if that’s the kind of quality you’re happy with.

And traditionally written code won't have those subtleties? Really?

		Not unless it’s written by a total novice. But hey - as in my previous reply, if you’re happy with AI-written code and honestly can’t see the difference, that’s ok. Do whatever floats your boat.

As has been said before we've been cleaning up garbage code for generations and that doesn't look even close to changing anytime soon.

100%, does it matter if I cleanup the mess of another dev or of an AI? I don't think so.

		Can other devs spew out crap at the same speed at AI? Cleaning up fifteen 10kloc pull requests per day? Yeah didn’t think so.
