Also AI is fine at creating maintainable software, you just have to nag it to and not accept its first attempt at it, and subject it to peer review. This is plenty similar to human developers.

It creates maintainable looking code that will not stand the test of time.

Why would I want to nag it and do all that when I could just do it correctly myself in the first place?

But people don't use AI the way they use human beings because it's a technology and it's being consistently overhyped by its own makers as superhuman intelligence

Nobody does this though, that’s the problem. If most people don’t use a tool the “correct way” at what point do we blame the tool?

For starters, LLM’s need to stop being our friends. But that won’t happen because the dopamine loop is baked in on purpose.
