Just curious what people are using n8n for.

I just finished setting up a workflow that sends me a Telegram message every night about photography opportunities for the next day. It puts together weather data, POIs (which I defined for my location), sun/moon position, milky way visibility, cloud cover, etc. The message then simply tells me if it's worth it going out in the morning.

Is there a version of n8n without AI generated code?

If you are asking if you can run n8n without AI, yes. That's what I run. If you are asking whether n8n is free of any AI generated code used in it's creation, I couldn't speak to that.

I see. It uses AI generated code, I just checked.
