I’m probably going to be downvoted for this but this thread doesn’t really reflect well on the promises of Generative AI and particularly the constantly reiterated assurance that we’re on the verge of a new industrial Revolution.
Furthermore, and more generally, one of the great things about (traditional) coding is that it allows 'thinking through making' - by building something you learn more about the problem and thus how best to solve it. Code generation just leaves you with reviewing, which is less powerful in this way I believe. See also 'thinking through writing [prose]'.
It doesn't mean those tools do not have value though but they're not capable of "coding ", in the sense we mean in the industry, and generating code isn't coding.
The alternative to this isn’t even necessarily no AI, just not using it this way.
That said: I suspect that OP is providing low-detail prompts.
These tools cannot read your mind. If you provide an under-specified prompt, they will fill in all the details for things that are necessary to complete the task, but that you didn't provide. This is how you end up with slop.
