@olafurw This assumes that writing the code is the hard part. It would of course seem this way to people who have no idea about programming. However, people who've done this for a decade or two know that the hard part of programming is maintaining the code, sometimes for years, or even decades. And the maintainability of code strongly depends on how it was written originally.
Even non-programmers should have an inkling that AI-generated code will not do well in that respect.
