"Reading AI code all day is _agonizing_. Just, a horrible way to live, and it melts people's brains at the moment you need them to be the most capable."

I think it's very similar to dealing with large offshore teams. Every day you get a huge pile of code to review. It's really exhausting.

I prefer dealing with AI because at least it tends to follow rules once I write them down. Not so much with a lot of offshore guys. Same mistakes every day.

I guess my company needs to hire better offshore devs....

I do wonder what all this means for offshore development. What's the point of sending the work to another continent with different time zones and languages when your AI can do the same job directly.
Offshoring and contracting bulk work out is decreasing.

AI can give you 80-90% of the quality, but the feedback loop is hours or days, not weeks.

This means the inevitable iteration of "no make that a bit greener, move that there, that is the wrong style for this scene" can be done faster, which means cheaper.
