Tbf, if you're good at that and getting paid decently for it, it probably wouldn't suck that bad. There's definitely people out there who enjoy fixing/rewriting broken code. Fixing broken stuff is a real thrill for some folks.

But it does suck that programmers good at other areas of programming, who prefer working on stuff that already works or coding new things from scratch, will end up being expected instead to fix chatbot slop.
