> I always try to learn and understand the generated code and changes

Not to be pedantic but, do you _try_ to understand? Or do you _actually_ understand the changes? This suggests to me that there are instances where you don't understand the generated code on projects others than your own, which is literally my point and that of many others. And even if you did understand it, as I pointed out earlier, that's not enough. It is a low bar imo. I will continue to keep my mind open but yours isn't a case study supporting the use of these assistants but the opposite.

In science, when a new idea is brought forward, it gets grilled to no end. The greater the potential the harder the grilling. Software should be no different if the builders want to lay a claim on the name "engineer". It is sad to see a field who claims to apply scientific principles to the development of software not walking the walk.
