I’ve never seen code look so correct, sort of work but be so strangely crap.
This is my experience of GPT generated code too. It needs refactoring as soon as it's generated for me to be happy with it.
The real question is whether that actually matters though. If an AI tool is writing ugly code that works, and the 'developer' is only interacting with that code through prompts, then what the code looks like is irrevelant. No one will see it. It'd be like worrying about what the inside of a Photoshop file or a Word doc looks like.
I think we're some way off using AI to write and modify code like it's an opaque file, but once we're there it won't matter if that code is ugly and terrible. No one will look.
- rolisz 4y agoYes, I can easily see a future where many abstractions we currently use in code will go away, because we'll just use LLMs to change the code when needed, instead of trying to future proof code.
