You can get AI to generate the best code you have ever seen. It just takes time and direction. I can write "poetic" code, but it takes orders of magnitude more time. I can also write beautiful code with AI, but it is also time and brain intensive.
It generates terrible code when used in a nearly open loop manner, which all coding agents are currently doing.
Hard to argue with that.
I don't actually think it's a solved problem, I'm saying that the fact that it generates terrible code doesn't necessarily mean that it doesn't have parity with humans.
