AI will write whatever kind of code you want it to write. If you know how to write clean code and you can describe that in a prompt, it will give you clean code that is indistinguishable from that of a talented dev.

> If you know how to write clean code.

If we're assuming that:

I find it less time consuming to just write the code, understand it 99% (since I wrote it), and debug the rest, than it is to try to describe it to the AI, understand a fraction of what it spits out, and spend more time understanding it and fixing it.

If you can just write clean code just do that. Also, you will improve your skills even more the more you do that (shocker). So the next time you have to do that it will be even easier. This is called learning a skill.

Sorry for the rough tone, reading that back haha. But still posting because I'm just passionate about it, it's nothing personal though.

Reading is much faster than writing, that's a given. You can generate the rules in less than an hour, then never have to write a line of code again.

But maybe you have trouble writing prompts. Spend some time learning how to do that and it will be even easier. It's a skill ;)
