I am consistently underwhelmed by the output, I can't really explain it besides LLMs have no taste about what is easier to read for humans.

I usually start a task with an LLM and then do small refactors using the LLM and then do some manual refactors before I am done. But often for more complex tasks the manual refactors are quite large.

Maybe it is because they can read walls of text so easily, so they output walls of text that are hard to read for humans.

I feel quite sad because a lot of my fellow colleagues are not putting this extra effort in to make things easier to understand by humans. PR review is basically me just doing this extra effort for them and their LLM implementing my comments.

And that is when I can even pinpoint the bad taste in the code structure, sometimes it is not something you can easily describe in a PR comment besides "no human would structure the code like this".
