Because with code the reviewer most likely believes you are putting more effort into writing code with an AI than you did handwriting it. If you don’t then your coworkers most likely already hate reviewing your agents crap.
But I probably don't want to do either. Low effort software is the same as a low effort blog post - easily reproducible and probably riddled with errors.
The cycles on my machines and the full weight of my conscious attention span are so categorically different that this comparison is just fundamentally nonsense.
Either the stuff is worth reading, or it's not worth reading. It really has nothing to do with how much effort it took the human, or entity, to get it on paper.
Gold that lands in my pocket is just as good as, or better than, gold I have to dig out of the ground.
It's not gold, it's generated text with no original thought – don't use analogies to make your argument, you just muddy the water and risk the conversation devolving into ever more superfluous comparisons like "akshually it's more like panning for gold because I have to sift out all of the bullshit".
The author would be better served posting their prompt instead of the cruft of shit the software builds up around it to pad out the length.

Don’t waste your time.
I hope these hyperbolic takes can be over, forever.

Huh? No it's not lol

The same reasons you might spend your cycles running code the "author" couldn't even spend their own time writing.

The game can have every detail tended to by a game designer, while the clanker builds it out.

Why would that serve the author?
