I get that writing logs can be incredibly frustrating, but most of the time people are looking at logs because either something went wrong, or they have a hunch that the program is misbehaving and they're looking for a clean sign or signal that they are on the right track.
If I've spent multiple hours on someones broken piece of code, the last thing I want to be thinking is "did some non-deterministic chat-bot write this?", "are these logs even internally consistent?", "Why does this log mention code that doesn't exist?".
I get that is most devs least favorite part, but logs and errors are supposed to be unshakable, ground-truth understandings, things that point you to the light in a dark room of broken spaghetti code and misunderstandings.
Think about this from a users or a testers perspective, can you imagine the compounding frustration you would experience? To be chasing a skein of understanding through wall of text that you only mostly understand, to find out that the hunch was based on a red-herring by a dev who wasn't bothered to help you in return.
Not to mention the amount of non-bugs you are generating for yourself in the future, we already have bug bounties being swarmed by LLM-gen faux-bugs, how is anyone supposed to reason about real bugs if the logs are only tangentially related to the truth?

This is the same complaint about all AI-generated code, the simple answer to which is, review the code yourself before committing. Or if it's a real project, it'll get reviewed by someone else anyway, same as any other code that could have a mistake in it.
