They do seem to leave otherwise useless comments for itself. Eg: on the level of

// Return the result

return result;

I find this quite frustrating when reading/reviewing code generated by AI, but have started to appreciate that it does make subsequent changes by LLMs work better.

It makes me wonder if we'll end up in a place where IDEs hide comments by default (similar to how imports are often collapsed by default/automatically managed), or introduce some way of distinguishing between a more valuable human written comment and LLM boilerplate comments.
