Ask HN: Is anyone else sick of AI splattered code

Between code reviews, and AI generated rubbish, I've had it. Whether it's people relying on AI to write pull request descriptions (that are crap by the way), or using it to generate tests.. I'm sick of it.

Over the year, I've been doing a tonne of consulting. The last three months I've watched at least 8 companies embrace AI generated pip for coding, testing, and code reviews. Honestly, the best suggestions I've seen are found by linters in CI, and spell checkers. Is this what we've come to?

My question for my fellow HNers.. is this what the future holds? Is this everywhere? I think I'm finally ready to get off the ride.

I'm sorry you feel that way. Yes, this is probably the future.

AI is a new tool or really a huge new category of different AI tools that will need time to gain competency on.

AI doesnt eliminate the need for developers, it's just a whole new load of baggage and we will NEVER get to the point where that new pile of problems becomes 0.

A tool that gemini cli really loves if Ruff, I run it often :)
