Sure, it's possible that the code it gave me was based on some incorrectly written code it scraped from Gitlab or something.

I'm not a luddite, I'm perfectly fine with people using AI for writing code. The only thing that really concerns me is that it has the potential to generate a ton of shitty code that doesn't look shitty, creating a lot of surface area for debugging.

Prior to AI, the quantity of crappy code that could be generated was basically limited by the speed in which a human could write it, but now there's really no limit.

Again, just to reiterate, this isn't "old man yells at cloud". I think AI is pretty cool, I use it all the time, I don't even have a problem with people generating large quantities of code, it's just something we have to be a bit more weary of.



Agree, just means less time developing and more time on quality control.
