I would disagree. I love to use comments to format my code and separate the sections. I think it's so beautiful. Also I love when libraries have ASCII art in the comments at the top of the main file lol. It makes the code more fun in my opinion.

I went to college with a guy who would treat the code as art when presenting projects. His code was always beautiful. Not super functional but always beautiful. It always stuck with me. I want my code to always be functional and beautiful. Easy to read and a pleasure to work with. That's my goal at least. Comments help with that.

Also it depends on what the code is for haha
