I used to think that programming is an art; that you get paid for the code. Too bad it took me decades to realize how wrong I was. AI sucks, it sucks the soul from this profession. But in the end, the code it produces works, so who cares?

I care, precisely because the code it produces doesn't work. It has the appearance of working, but it is badly written and leads to problems down the line.
