Some people write terrible code. Some people don’t proofread their own code. Some people are writing code in a second (or third!) language and the typos are harder to spot and comments are harder to formulate.

It’s a bit like the variance you could expect from asking a room full of people to write a 1-page short story on a specific topic (e.g. “death of a loved one”). Some of those short stories will be unreadable, and some of the people who wrote those terrible stories will have no idea how bad they are. Except now, enter AI, and the room generates the short story instead - who has the skills to determine whether their short story isn’t terrible?
