I'm pretty sure some people said the same when machines appeared in 19th century. Like "machine-made clothes are not art". Art has its place, and there always will be need in it. But sometimes we just need to eat. Or to buy a 5-euro t-shirt, not a handmade masterpiece. Or a 7-euro mug, or… I might continue. However, when I come to an unknown place, I want local handmade things that would serve me as memory from that place. Different usage, different needs.

Code is art. I work at a studio full of ungodly talented artists, but I will still die on this hill. Code is often messy and dirty and it's a pain to create and get right but the results reflect the personality of the creator and the pain of the creation. Just like the rest of art. Sometimes you have to look at the source code to see that, but it's there if you look for it, hidden beneath the surface.

AI generated code is not art.

@menelion I as a user don't need code which reflects it's author personality. I need a code which solves my problems.

I as a developer don't need other developers to tell me that my code is beautiful (unless I'm on a job interview, lol). I'd prefer user telling me that my app solved their problem, saved their time, helped to do something they couldn't do before.

I'd buy a hand-made t-shirt too if I like it and if it's not too expensive.
