The sad thing is those using AI to code (and I certainly do) don't realize they're producing more but just more of the same turds they were already producing.
And in addition to that they're producing turds nobody gives a shit about (ah!).
Where, indeed, are the both less memory-hungry, less CPU-intensive and more secure rewrites of the pigs we work with on a daily basis?
Nowhere to be seen.
Because the AI zealots are way too busy adding crap features over crap features.
