I don't understand how anyone who can code worth a damn could think AI codes better or faster than an engineer. Is their entire software engineering team composed of junior devs??
I legitimately don't think I've seen a single human-made piece of software more abysmal than the shit AI writes. You can tell it from a mile away. It looks ugly, performs terribly, and has 50x more code than it needs to get the job done. Irregardless of the morality or cost of the thing, even the frontier LLMs write code worse than a script kiddy slapping Stack Overflow snippets together piecemeal.
This reeks of a manager who took an introductory Python course and now thinks they know all there is to know about programming. The Dunning-Kruger effect is wild.
