You let it generate the whole project likely because you are incapable of doing it yourself.
The OP you're responding to, like most of us that dislike AI slop, don't use it because it can do things we can't. We used it because it was supposed to be a productivity booster.
While it does generate code quickly, it's not at the level of quality we would write, and because of that, we're constantly having to tweak and refactor it afterwards, losing any productivity gains.
I wrote the same thing as shell scripts, but to use capabilites instead of running it as root, I needed to generate an executable. So it's not like I didn't have a worse solution already in place. Whether or not I can write it is irrelevant, I didn't want to spend the time to do it myself if AI didn't generate it for me
