To pull out a Walter quote:

	I've been around long enough to have seen an endless parade of
	magic new techniques du jour, most of which purport to remove
	the necessity of thought about your programming problem.  In the
	end they wind up contributing one or two pieces to the
	collective wisdom, and fade away in the rearview mirror.
	-- Walter Bright

IMNSHO, if something can be automatically generated by AI, then it's not
worth writing and shouldn't have been necessary to write in the first
place.  What's worth writing is what requires actual thought, actually
solving a problem, not just regurgitating past solutions to
previously-solved problems.  If AI can automate those parts away, so
much the better, I say.  Spare me the tedium, give me more time/energy
to focus on what actually needs solving.
