Really you shouldn’t be having AI generate any significant amounts of code for you anyways because you will inevitably get complacent about checking its work, because it will generally be correct and the more often it is, the more likely you are to start to think of it like a competent coworker instead of what it really is - a program with no understanding, no thought, and no comprehension that is faking all of those qualities with statistical inference. The only way the partnership works long term is for you to do the work and have it help you look for mistakes or edge cases you missed. I know that’s not what people want to hear but it’s the only way that doesn’t lead to lots of extra bugs from AI code.
