This is the way. If you're a prick about quality and outcomes, whether you typed it with your digits or the robot spit it out is irrelevant.

AI can't make you un-lazy, no matter how many tokens you pay for.
100%. I don't think any senior programmer ever looks at another developer's code and says, "Oh yeah, that's just the way I'd do it."
replyBut I assume you don't go and change all your co-workers code just because they didn't do it how you would have done it?
replyEven the most toxic places I've worked that kind of behavior would totally get you canned.
replyI concur, and I think that is one of the most difficult aspects of reviewing another's code. It's difficult for me to sometimes differentiate between what is acceptable vs. what I would have done. I have to be very conscious to not impose my ideals.
replySo you are going to waste everyone's time getting another developer to write code the way you want? This resonates with me because at my company I get this all the time. At that point, you might as well close my PR and do it yourself, whatever way you want. I really like the advice from the book 0 2 1, to assign different areas of responsibility to people, so that there is no conflict.

That's not how most organizations work, AI or not.
replyWhat do you mean?
replyOrganizations usually are not looking for employees who change things that work fine, just because it disagrees with the "vision" of one employee.
