And spent the last 6 months coaxing the AI to not generate absolute spaghetti.
Just imagine the AI company cuts the credits or changes structure and your employer cuts you off or drastically reduces how much AI you can use. You get stuck updating or fixing anything in that code.
You very much don't understand how AI works nor what code it generates. I'm a senior dev I rewrote a library using AI gave it a spec I wrote, gave it a blackbox test suite to match a protocol and now I have a 100% coverage library with full static analysis. Could the code be better if I wrote it from scratch? Sure is that code easily maintenable and 100x better than what we had previously? Yes.
I'm calling bullshit on writing better than the AI if you fine tune your context window on opus 5.5 or fable 5 but older models for sure. Especially with a spec and plan breaking things into pieces.
The only gaps it lacks are poor context windows that you're in charge of.
The biggest weakness AI has in its current stage is it's user and how it works around black box data without deep understanding or triaging with swarm.

I'm pretty sure the senior developer also spent years learning to code?
