I think the line is between AI-generated and AI-assisted - I have AI assisted projects that I have happily been developing for several months and they are going fine, I feel just as engaged with them as I did with my hand coded projects, but also I am more engaged insofar as I actively manage the architecture and the code, and see to it that the AI is following the plan I have in mind.

people chasing after "one shot" code certainly aren't helping, I agree.
