I'm not the biggest fan of AI either but honestly you're just wasting a ton of money with that policy. Web sites are something that AI is pretty good at and yours doesn't sound especially complicated - just a lot of work.
Nah, I'll sit idle and fucking die before I use it. Never shall I ever hire a soul who has drunk from the well that is AI for anything requiring thinking. I've declined 9 proposals for simply saying "AI is a tool with specific uses" lmfao nope.
You have to understand, here, I'm placing myself and my team's jobs and aspirations in the hands of a developer, if they failed to deliver competent well made product then it uses our limited resources up and leaves us with nothing. I have to set bare minimum standards.
Ok, your money I guess. In fairness it is harder to know if someone else who uses AI is just slopping shit out or guiding and checking it.
But also it's not like humans contractors are guaranteed to write good code. I have seen plenty of human written code that is far worse than anything an AI would product (check thedailywtf for examples).
I have never seen any statistic that Sloppers write as good code as normal human beings. Quite the opposite, in fact, studies have shown AI Slop has singlehandedly created more vulnerabilities total than any other changes in tech or software. We're talking multitudes uptick in errors.
It not only doesn't make sense at large scale, but it also doesn't even make sense anecdotally. You're telling me a guy or gal who autogenerates code using a flawed statistical model which is famous for its absurd hallucinations, inability to count, violent amorality, and complete lack of puzzle solving capability can somehow be as good as a professional human being? I don't buy it. I don't support people who do buy it. I hate them, in fact, if only for the massive costs on consumers and the environment resulting from the training and operating of these bullshit generators.
