I strongly disagree AI generates codebases of the same size as humans excluding test code. You can just look at Codex, codebase that is almost millions of lines of Rust Code (source) for a desktop app/ Terminal UI’s. I saw a lab employee somewhere cope on X by saying their terminal UI is as complex as a game engine, but last I checked, they just need to generate some 2D pixels, not entire 3D worlds with physics and sounds that is done with ~500k lines of code.
replyLLMs are laughably bad at writing code in some languages and shockingly good in others, so I can see that being the case if you chose poorly. But, especially when you have decided that you aren't even going to look at it, why would you use a shitty language?
