It's not really. You could have done the same using no code tools in a similar time.

Question is, would you? It's alarming the amount of trust/praise that goes into "AI".

> if you're an experienced engineer > it took me 5 minutes with AI

You'd at least read the code and fix things up so it wouldn't be 5 minutes.

For a lot of the vomit code which is mostly just skimming the API to find the magical incantation, it probably is 5 minutes, honestly.

Adapt to? I'm not saying to not use AI but whether you use AI, do it manually or outsource it it's never 5 minutes. It's about being responsible. Double check what happens. Review it.
