This comment presupposes that AI is only used to write code that the (presumably junior-level) author doesn’t understand.

I’m a self-respecting software developer with 28 years of experience. I would, with some caveats, venture to say I am an expert in the trade.

AI helps me write good code somewhere between 3x and 10x faster.

This whole-cloth shallow dismissal of everything AI as worthless overhyped slop is just as tired and content-free as breathless claims of the limitless power or universal applicability of AI.
