Agreed. AI-generated code is "mid" by nature. You won’t feel amazed seeing AI-generated code because its "reasoning" competes with that of a potato.

I have recently started exploring AI-coding -- note that I said AI coding and not vibe-coding because that is for the brain-dead.

By AI coding, I mean I know the inputs, outputs, structures the code should have and the necessary context to write the code. Then, articulating the requirements in English as best as I can and feeding it to agents.

Needless to say, the code is pathetic; it chooses to implement meaningless abstractions even after explicitly providing the design and plan to follow.

I don’t understand how we, as a collective species, agreed to believe the criminally wrong lies of tech CEOs that, instead of implementing a “reliable system by hand,” we choose to convey our ideas and instructions in an “ambiguous,” “inconsistent,” and “context-dependent” language (English), which is then passed through a probabilistic system to generate the reliable system.





I cant say my experience is at parity with this, what model were you using?

For AI-coding, I use Copilot with whatever default model under free plan it gives.
