It’s amazing to think that humans have been writing blunder-free code all this time and only AI is making mistakes.
Humans coders, including good ones, make errors all the time and I don’t fully trust the code written by even my strongest team members (including myself; I’m far from the strongest programmer).
- jncfhnb 1y agoProblem is juniors are now pushing code that they don’t understand and have concluded they cannot understand because the AI is smarter than them
- Ancapistani 1y agoThat is clearly a failure on the part of the seniors on their team - not AI.
- jncfhnb 1y agoI don’t blame the stupidity multipliers but I don’t love having them around
- n4r9 1y agoThe claim is not that humans write fewer bugs than AI. The claim is that devoting senior time to fixing bugs in mass-produced AI code lowers overall quality.
- ericyd 1y agoThis is true, but when good human developers introduce bugs, at least their code adheres to a thoughtful software design that matches expectations. My experience with AI code is its much less likely to meet that criteria.
