I used to think that the people who keep saying (in March 2026) that AI does not generate good code are just not smart and ask stupid prompts.
I think I've amended that thought. They are not necessarily lacking in intelligence. I hypothesize that LLMs pick up on optimism and pessimism among other sentiments in the incoming prompt: someone prompting with no hope that the result will be useful end up with useless garbage output and vice versa.
