I think if all you care about is the outcome then sure, you might enjoy AI coding more
If you enjoy the problem solving process (and care about quality) then doing it by hand is way, way more enjoyable
(But would further gamification make it more enjoyable? No, IMO. So maybe all we learn here is that people don't like change in any direction.)
Argue about the value of video games all you like, I would still place them above slot machines any day
I do care about the outcome, which is why the thought of using AI to generate it makes me want to gouge my eyes out
In my view using AI means not caring about the outcome because AI produces garbage. In order to be happy with garbage you have to not care
