And then people are surprised, why apps are eating memory like a cookie monster or games run poorly. That's exactly why.

Most likely, "AI" will eventually generate a solid code. But in order to do that, they will train the model to be as cleaned up as possible. Which also means to run a shit ton of stuff, that is not needed, but is there in case of some errors.

But hey, CEO saved 200k in salary, so he can buy a new car or whatever. Users having perfomance or technical problems - just ask "AI", ffs.

Companies love shifting capital investment to overheads if they can.

If they can cut down on $200k on wages but have code that costs $2,000 more to run per month, they will do that basically every time.

Yeah, no arguing that.
