Not trying to back the AI hype, but most pre-AI auto generated code is garbage (like winform auto generated code or entity framework SQL in the .net world). But that’s fine, it’s not meant to be read by humans. If you want to change it you can regenerate it. It may be that AI just moves the line between what developers should care and look at vs the boring boiler plate code that has little value added.

But those code generators were deterministic (and indeed caused huge headaches if the generated code changed between versions). Seems like a totally different thing.
