If I commit AI generated code I have reviewed and tested it and would 
probably have written worse code myself. Of course I can fix bugs in 
code that was AI generated on my prompting.

I sometimes use AI for the boring part of coding, like "give me a python 
class with the following internal values, getter and setter methods etc" 
and happily take the generated slop. Another place where I happily 
accept slop is command line parsing. A lot of the small helpers I have 
written for myself in the last months would never have been written if I 
didnt have had the LLM coding helper.

And it is really nice to have a machine tell me whether it's else, else 
if, elsif or elif in the language I am using today. That's huge savings 
in time.

Greetings
Marc
