LLM can generate a larger chunk of code then you'll find on SO, so I think it's a larger issue to have LLM code then copy-pasted SO code.

It also generates code customized to your request, so there is temptation to avoid doing even the minimal work of "how do I turn this SO snippet into something that works with my program?"
- seanw444 2y agoI also think that it would be a nightmare to properly review a large PR of exclusively AI code. If you take the time to understand what it's doing, and find as many little bugs and edge cases as possible, you may as well have just written it yourself.
- bryanrasmussen 2y agoagreement here - As a normal rule somebody copied code from SO after searching for - unique identifier generator in JavaScript - and the code that was the top answer might not be 100% understandable to them but most of it and it doesn't do anything that is extremely weird. When asked what does that bit of code do they probably say it's the unique id generator. Somebody might ask AI write a login module in JavaScript, inside of that will be a unique identifier generator - what does that bit of code do when asked they reply hmm, not sure, it's from ChatGPT.
