If you end up with 2 to 3 times more code. That is HORRIBLE, because it means about 50-66% of the code is otherwise unnecessary. Those are eventually going to become unmaintainable garbage.

However, if you get 2 to 3 times the code in the interim, that's probably less than what's needed. I find myself cycle through almost 10x-20x amount of code implementations to get what I want which is actually less code, simple solution and desired behavior.

Given a specific behavior, there are usually just 1 simplest implementation, whether done by human or AI. However, there are 100 ways to do it with more complexity and either handwritten or AI slop, it will mean pain down the line. We used to have a lot of handwritten complexity because of certain design pattern culture, but they used to be contained because the ability to generate them is costly. Now it's much more risky and therefore more important to have simplicity as the guiding principle in ALL projects.
