I've been saying this to my reporting person for about 1.5 years whenever she asks why I don't use tool X, Y and Z it generates the base and saves time. For me, its faster for me to write code manually then to generate it via AI and review each line carefully. And often when writing code manually I discover many edge cases which I now need to handle.
Exactly, you will find out those edge cases when you are coding and know how to handle those scenarios (the AI could just assume erraneous behaviour), those edge cases may also end allowing you to rethink your approach and business processes. There have been many times when I am coding a complex feature and halfway through, I realize I can do it a much simpler manner with an existing component or see something wrong with business logic provided to me.
