In English I guess it would be something like “mother-in-law”.

Joke’s on you, at the work I’m in we are running a project 32 months late.

Young intern. Only now, at the prerelease meeting, do you understand. Your coding skills are no match for the requirement of the client. You have added the tasks for your lack of vision. Now, young intern, you will refactor.

And I’d ask ten people before a machine. If I had to ask a machine, then I’d have to ask 9 people anyway just to verify if the machine answer is any trustable; after all, the entire point is I couldn’t do it myself.

Why would I do that when I can talk to a human? (or, at least, something in the internet that pretends to be that)

Which the answer is: never. If they did, by definition they would not be competent (unless they are being specifically trained in how to avoid code slop).

And you are sure it’s not spewing hallucinations or neo-fascism in a language you don’t understand… why?

If you can read the code it writes and modify it, a project manager can remove that time from you and take the AI slop direct to production.

no amount of tech will stop 99% of the population

What 99%? 96% of that 99% you mention I have observed to be quite lazy. Things have been severely bad for decades yet no meaningful reaction.
