(From GP) "AI coding sometimes sacrifices correctness or cleanness for simplicity, but it will win and win big as long as the produced code works per its users' standards."
Those user's standards are an ephemeral target for any software beyond a one-shot script or a hobby project with minimal user:dev ratio. That incorrect and unclean code simply isn't conducive to the many iterations needed when those "users' standards" change. And as we all know, that change is _inevitable_, and oftentimes happens before the software in question has even had a single release! Get ready to throw ever more tokens at trying to correct and clean if you ever really "win big" and need to actually support the product.
It's very much gross short-sighted thinking that goes right along with the gross short-sighted thinking providing all the [fake] value around this crap.
I have the same feeling when creating my art-works I suffer through the process of creation and learning. While someone makes money with an ai generated art work.
Sometimes I wonder if it matters at all.
I agree with you, but I think you and I are on the wrong website for this mentality.
