this is not a thing. there hasn't been a single line of code written that a human can't understand.

I may be able understand any given line of code but not necessarily all of them. The capacity of AI to generate code will quickly exceed human capacity to read and understand it.

Also, code quality matters for AI as well. Maintaining a million lines of code requires more tokens than maintaining 100 lines of code.
