My father-in-law has (among other things) done a fair amount of editing or proofreading prose, mostly on paper with red and blue pens. He says that when the page looks like it's covered in blood, that means it was good writing. For bad writing, it's so bad that you can't really work with it. I would not want to take a block of text written by AI and try to edit it to sound human. It's too hard to fix. (And I suspect this is why people don't - they just paste the AI output.) I think the same may be true of AI code. You're not going to fix it. You can't edit it to be the code you would write. All you can do is re-prompt to try to get the AI to fix it.
