There's a Golden Girls episode where Sophia has a bulk shopping discount card and buys all sorts of nonsense including four gross of toothbrushes and I think of it every time someone says they generated however many hundreds of thousands of lines of code
Aside from those who are posting this shit to undermine labour, I get that it might feel empowering to generate code, because we've gatekept and mystified the fuck out of it.. but for me as someone who's spent many years now teaching folk coding skills, what I want people to understand more than anything is *it's just code*
It's not magical or special, it's just a means to an end, it can be taught, and learned
