Generating code from scratch and modifying existing code are two different things, obviously the latter being where AI doesn't do great. Carefully managing and compressing context can somewhat help, but that is far from being a perfect solution.
Every time someone asks for good examples of AI written code, and they are given one, they either move the goalposts or simply don't reply.
I went from using copilot autocomplete and mostly just disabling it because it was not great, to now using claude most of my day. I gets stuff wrong. It does generate inefficient code. It definitely has a way to go, but otherwise it just saves so much time.
That's assuming the above-referenced code is good. I know next to nothing about flux, so I cannot tell. What I can tell though is that despite people claiming that AI can write code in Rust, I have to rewrite virtually all AI-generated code myself, because it's fucking garbage. It cannot even consistently follow basic guidelines. I concede that AI can save time, but my original point stands.
