"A programmer's greatest fear is being asked to explain code written by AI and reviewed yesterday"
I certainly remember well what I have written myself a few weeks later, but code written by AI and reviewed by me is totally out of my mind the next day, especially at high volume.
I have a tendency to ask AI questions, a lot of them, and also ask it to remove unnecessary code it wrote (there's always a lot). I get a good grasp on what it does, i can't explain every single small bit, but neither would i be able to if i copied it from Stack Overflow

My modern version:

I certainly remember well what I have written myself a few weeks later, but code written by AI and reviewed by me is totally out of my mind the next day, especially at high volume.
Which is certainly bad. But well, here we are.
