this is the biggest issue to me; even if its code-generation was one-shot "perfect" (and beautiful) every time, people are gonna be less and less sweating the details and start throwing more mud at the wall to see what sticks instead of trying to understand their customer

n=1 but i see this first hand all the time now, people dont even read the generated requirements/specs cause they are too long but it looks kinda ok so "lets have at it" smh
