> Spending your time cleaning up AI slop that you didn't want to write in the first place doesn't sound like much fun.

Pretty much every job I've had since 2003 involved cleaning up human-written slop.

For the moment, I'm finding that AI speeds up certain things: It can bang out unit tests in a few minutes, or do 80% of the work for me; but once it gets to the "test, make small change, test" loop, that's all done by hand.

Human written slop is SIGNIFICANTLY more enjoyable than LLM slop, it tells a story no matter how bad the dev is. LLM slop is a tidal wave of meaningless drivel.
