My experience is the opposite - I find large blobs of generated code to be daunting, so I tend to pretty quickly reject them and either write something smaller by hand, or reprompt (in one way for another) for less, easier to review code.

And what do you do with the generated code?

Do you package it in a reusable library so that you don't have to do the same prompting again?

Or rather - just because it is so easy to do - you don't bother?

If that's the later - that's exactly the pattern I am talking about.

You are an excellent user of AI code generation - but your habit is absolutely not the norm and other developers will throw in paragraphs of AI slop mindlessly.
