I feel like this is a forest for the trees kind of thing.

It is implied that the code being created is for “capabilities”. If your AI is churning out needless code, then sure, that’s a bad thing. Why would you be asking the AI for code you don’t need, though? You should be asking it for critical features, bug fixes, the things you would be coding up regardless.

You can use a hammer to break your own toes or you can use it to put a roof on your house. Using a tool poorly reflects on the craftsman, not the tool.
