You're going to lose the ability to do it yourself if you keep doing that. I used to use AI occasionally for code until one day I tried doing it on my own and realized that I had forgotten how to do it without AI. I feel rather embarrassed to admit that, and imo LLMs are like the smoking of our generations and lots of people, including me, jumped on the hype train not knowing of all the harms it causes.

Question: if I have an AI write a few hundred lines of code I was already going to write myself, but it just does it faster, is it slop?

Question: If I define a problem differently than everyone else, have I won the argument?

A couple hundred lines?

It's honestly going to do it it's way. You'll likely have to go through it all in the end and change a lot. If somehow it pulls it off as you would, there's the issue of debugging or modifying it later. You'll look at it and have to figure it out first before you can start. That takes a lot of extra time.

I find it really unproductive and dangerous to do bigger tasks. Basically anything "from scratch" that isn't the basics, you'll regret it like a rake to the face at some point.

It means somewhere else it already exists. If you don't want to write that, just look for dependencies. Or write your own codegen tools.

Yesn't. It's more than ai can introduce a subtle bug that you may overlook. But if you do it, you'd actually think about it

Yes it is because you didn't put in the work you lazy pig!
