I have done some romhacks, so I have seen what compilers have done to assembly quality and readability. When I hear programmers complain that having to debug AI written code is harder than just writing it yourself, that's probably exactly how assembly coders felt when they saw what compilers produce.

One can regret the loss of elegance and beauty while accepting the economic inevitability.

Not just elegance and beauty, but also functionality. AI is as victim as humans are that if you put all your maximum wit into coding, you won't have any headroom for debugging.
