But it was instantly a maintenance dead end.
It doesn't really make sense to suggest AI can work on something any make it now and work correctly, and at the same time say it's unmaintainable. It is maintainable with AI.
The real question is whether or not you're happy to ship AI-generated code that you can't modify to production unless you use AI. Few developers are there yet, plenty of non-tech people are there already. I don't know which group is actually wrong.
