That's not a new issue.

The absolute slop I've seen people hand write long before AI is actually impressive.

AI is just a force multiplier

    I mean, fine. But its easier to fix human written slop over AI slop solely because of the sheer volume of AI slop.

    Eh it depends, you can use AI to help you fix AI slop.

    A hand written project I worked on was such a mess I can't even begin to describe how badly written it was.

    It was a POC writen by students that then just got launched as the actual product for millions of users.

    The DB had zero foreign keys.

    The thing just had to be rewritten from scratch
