One can make the argument that it truly doesn't matter how complicated the code is, since the AI will fix whatever may be wrong with it.

Beautiful, elegant, efficient code will all eventually be sacrificed at the altar of the AI's effectiveness and efficiency, which is a pity, because these are the strengths of Laravel
