The CTO of my company has pushed multiple AI written PRs that had obvious breaks/edge cases, even after chastising other people for having done the same.
It's not an experience issue. It's a complacency issue. It's a testing issue. It's the price companies pay to get products out the door as quickly as possible.
- flail 1y agoStories about CTOs heavily overrelying on their long-outdated coding experience are plenty. If that's an ego thing ("I can still do that and show them that I can"), they're going to do that with little care about the consequences. At that level, it's the combination of all the power and not that much tech expertise anymore. A vulnerable place. A lot of famous hacks targeted humans as a primary weak point (gullibility, incompetence, naivety, greed, curiosity, take your pick), and technology only as a secondary follow-up. An example: Someone had to pick up that "dropped" pendrive in a cantina and plug it into their computer in a 100% isolated site to enable Stuxnet. Were I a black hat hacker, targeting CTOs' egos would be high on my priority list.

We were officially asked to use it for tasks wherever possible. And during training sessions, my question about privacy ( as users clearly are not following basic hygiene for attached file ) was not just dismissed, but ignored. I am not a luddite. I see great potential in this tech, but holy mackarel will there be price to pay.
