If your AI is writing bad code then you need to change your AI. No current high-end AI should be producing bad code.

This sounds like a subjective assessment. I counter with the opinion that most LLMs write technically correct, but bad code. When I read it, it makes me want to gag or poke my eyes out. I spend a lot of time wondering about what kind of person would write it like that, then I realize it’s an LLM

The tool is important but then so it's the way you use it. I've seen small LLMs produce good code and frontier LLMs produce poor quality code. Depending on context..

This is delusional. Opus 4.7 regularly produces pretty bad code.
