I love using AI to set up projects in 5 minutes but I hate to develop these projects using AI because inevitably it runs into a wall and I need to guide it and fix its code.

I suppose in this case it picked up an existing project and DIDN’T walk off a cliff? Were the mutations really small?

The worst to me is trying to use someone else's AI code. This guy, for example, has thousands of lines of undocumented (there are a few docstrings but not much more) code. I'm not really motivated to go through that, and you can't trust AI to go through and document it correctly necessarily either. At least if I generated it, I was probably around for enough of the process to know how most of it works.
That's weird. I thought LLMs loved over-explaining their code?
