> It can put out code much faster than any software dev.

Judging a programmer by how much code they write is like judging an airplane engineer by how heavy their planes are.

Of course, it isn't the quantity. It is more about the features you wouldn't implement because manual dev takes a long time and why not let the AI spin up a non-critical site for administration or testing just for you. The cost/benefit calculation shifts a bit.

That said, if you get something quite heavy to lift off, it probably is a decent engineering feet. Not saying it would be the best plane :)
