  If AI code causes chaos and destruction then all we've done is prove that as an industry we are really bad at actually verifying that code works. If AI code can fuck you up then so can any junior dev or intern. If the PR with AI generated code passes the tests and code review then that's on you.

    > we are really bad at actually verifying that code works This assumes a culture where verification is a virtue. Given the opportunity to cut corners for the sake of KPIs or other management sorcery, it's a virtual certainty that corners will get cut if AI enables it. > If AI code can fuck you up then so can any junior dev or intern. And they do. The fact that major corporations routinely have massive data leaks speaks to some serious QC issues. --- Ultimately, the problem is the long-term brain atrophy due to these tools. There will be too much trust placed in them, colleges will start awarding degrees to people who just "AI'd the answer" and eventually, we have a majority work force who can't tie their proverbial shoes. It's not tomorrow and hopefully not even a decade. But a generation's worth of dependence on these tools coupled with the employment incentive to do more faster? Boy howdy [1].
