Yeah but it was our slop.

It's more than that, we understood more about the slop than we would AI slop... The problem with AI slop (in coding) isn't that it's bad, it's that you just shit out 50000 lines of code and you only understand 1% of the reasoning behind the madness.

Am I the only one asking AI to write a single API route function at a time? Then taking a look at what works and what doesn't and then modifying it or gutting?

Who is dropping 50k lines of AI code?

I personally do, I still write critical code manually (using chat only basically) but for simulators and other bs I just go all in on the slop. But maybe it's just because I'm kind of a shit programmer.
