I think "polished" is doing some very heavy lifting in that sentence.

Don't get me wrong: I literally spend every weekday generating web UIs with Claude: I'm not anti-AI at all.

But to claim anything Claude produces as "polished" means limiting yourself to a very narrow definition of that term! If it didn't, people like me wouldn't get paid six figure salaries still (we'd be replaced by the AI that produces "polished" code).
