> See you in a few years when we can’t even keep up with the deluge of error prone programs. I think the worst case of this situation will pop up before that; not writing code at all but just hook the AI up, ‘prompt engineered’ directly like so; <body> <script>doInsuranceForm();</script> </body> Which will AI generate a html insurance form every time the page is requested and handle the user input etc. And it’ll be subtly wrong most of the time; it’s insurance, who knows if the current programmed forms are correct anyway (I know of at least one insurer that rounds off $0.01 wrong almost every policy because of using float for money on the web side). Why have the AI make code we can read? Just let it do the entire thing /s It’ll happen though and it will be used seriously by companies. The quality of the AI, legislation and public/consumer complaint fallout will determine if we get back to code that humans check. Being sceptical about humans wanting quality over paying as little as possible, I am going to say no.
