React gets a lot of pushback, and honestly, I get it—it's everywhere. The thing is, there's literally infinite ways to build something with React, plus mountains of training data feeding that reality.

Here's the issue though: when you prompt an AI to generate React code without being super precise, the stochastic nature of these models kicks in. You end up with inconsistent patterns, and over time, your codebase becomes fragmented and harder to maintain. The lack of specificity in your prompts means the model has too many valid paths to choose from—and it keeps picking different ones.

So the real takeaway? You need tight specifications and clear constraints when working with AI-generated code. Otherwise, you're basically guaranteed code quality degradation.
