The AI is pretty good at debugging and fixing it. It's quite a bit better at it than writing the code, to be honest.

And, you're right, I used to enjoy my job a lot more before AI. But in the end, the paychecks keep coming, and I can produce a lot of acceptable code quickly with little skill. Skill in coding no longer makes economic sense.
