Turns out mediocre code is fine most of the time though

  Not really. Today's mediocre code is tomorrow's technical debt. LLMs often inject subtle bugs or misunderstand the context they're being used in and have to be badgered into respecting the parameters of requests. Would you rather write code yourself, or ask a first-year student to write it for you while you watch over their shoulder and tell them to go back and try again every time you notice a mistake? Which of these do you think is faster and better in the long run for the quality of your codebase?
