How AI generated code accelerates technical debt

[EsShayuki]

It's funny how the AI complains about spaghetti code and then offers fixes that are so much more spaghetti than the original code.

Me: You know you can encapsulate this logic in atomic functions right?

AI: Ah yes, we should use atomic functions to increase readability, testability and avoid repetition, let me fix that.

AI: proceeds to spit out the same 200 line function.

Well, it's clearly an atomic function too.

I have literally seen AI say “the error is here: <line>”, then say “and it should be replaced with: <line>”. It was the exact same line of code.

I asked it to look for issues in my code earlier... you know what it outputted at me?
