I hear over and over from the staff engineers where i work that ai churns nothing but slop. When they know its ai they refuse to approve PRs even when it works cause its not the way they would do it.

Prime example was a quick set of scripts to run some tasks that were commonly performed. The ai version took a couple days to get the patterns right but worked and i was ready to not have to think of it anymore. A solid POC i thought. Well along comes the old hat saying its not the way he wouldve done it. Says he’s going to take a crack at it over the weekend. A month later and he still wont approve my pr, still not done with his better version and the code he has checked in is wayyyy more complicated using self-coded routines rather than preexisting libraries or even forked versions of them cause they are “security risks”. Then theres the things he straight up replicated what i produced with new file and variable names. Im still using what i put together aince his is still not done but in the mean time talking with powers that be about how we balance time, cost and quality.
