The AI doesn't judge, it doesn't have ego, and generally, if it does poorly, it's more a reflection of the user providing the inputs (giving bad instructions or not enough context).

So in a sense, we are more forgiving of ourselves more than anything.

Eh, sometimes the instructions you need to give are almost the code you need itself, at which point its better to just write the code rather than have it fuck your logic for you.

in fact, in my domain, that's almost always the case. LLM's rarely get it right. Getting something done that would take me a day, takes a day with an LLM, only now I don't fully understand what was written, so no real value add, just loss.

It sure can be nice for solved problems and boilerplate tho.
