Bear with me here: what if that retch-inducing code works fine? It's generated by an AI, can be understood by an AI (presumably), does what it should, so why should it be palatable for a human? You're not in the loop anymore...

If it remains perfectly bug free until the end of time then yes it's fine /s
I find it interesting that when people describe to me how they use LLMs to write code it's either short throwaway scripts or to write the kind of code that would make me retch (e.g. tests stuffed full of horrible mocks, spaghetti boilerplate).
