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.

AI generated code by Claude Sonnet, Kimi K2 0905, GLM-4.5 is not good enough to simultaneously maintain structure and implement features in complex code without doing insane things like grossly violating each SOLID principle. If you impose too much structure upon them, they fall apart as they don't truly understand the long range ramifications of their code too often. These assistants are best suited for generating highly testable snippets of code and pushing them to work in a large codebase pushes their capabilities too far, too often.
