On the contrary, it turned out to be exactly as common as predicted, which is why you see so many people going "this AI assistant thing makes me 100% more productive". It's precisely those tasks. And they are handled in precisely this way by humans, too - throw whatever the popular stack of the day is at them. And sure, it results in inefficiencies and crappy code, but that code is "good enough" wrt what the customer wants it to do.
