AI just produces very bad but working versions every time I try. Worse performance, more technical debt that I need to refactor, more code overall with less functionality that I need to trim away.

It gets a flawed but working version quicker, but it takes much longer to get to anything I can release.

AI mostly helps me discover new thing about a public API, or show one general solution to a problem, but then I mostly have to solve everything myself anyway to get anything good.
