"I phrase can this words a way not make sense. seems! but point across still!"

AI can turn it into a pseudo-poem or a 4 pages document. Or it can just fix the grammar. But it doesn't really change the point of the sentence– nor does it fix the actual issue with it.

Similar for code: There are codebases with lots of smells and really dirty parts, yet, that are still better than methodically clean ones that just don't "get to the point".

I am so sick of all the AI bloat. People were able to hide their incapability behind unnecessarily complex frameworks or obscuring it through "clean code" concepts. Now LLMs give those uninspired people the option to invest even less of what makes worthy software and hide it in more abstraction.

Just: AHA! (AI won't)
