In other words, nobody cares that the generated code is shit, because there is no human who can review that much code. Not even on high level.

According to the discussion here, they don’t even care whether the tests are real. They just care about that it’s green. If tests are useless in reality? Who cares, nobody has time to check them!

And who will suffer because of this? Who cares, they pray that not them!

>nobody cares that the generated code is shit

That is the case, whether the code is AI generated or not. Go take a look at some of the source code for tools you use ever day, and you'll find a lot of shit code. I'd go so far as to say, after ~30 years of contributing to open source, that it's the rare jewel that has clean code.
