Your statement makes no sense.
Even if you don't let LLMs author a single line of your code, they can still review it, find edge cases you didn't think about or suggest different approaches.
The fact that AI allows lots of slop, does not negate its overall utility in good informed hands.
- sesm 10mo agoThe balance between 'find edge cases' and 'hallucinate non-existing cases and waste your time' may be negative. LLMs are also not free, they cost significant money even today, when they are subsidized by marketing budget.
- epolanski 10mo agoEven an hallucinated non-existing case (which isn't the norm in my experience) is still food for thought.
- Madmallard 10mo agoIt was already shown repeatedly in GitHub repositories in the last year that authors are really unhappy with AI generated pull-requests and test cases.
- epolanski 10mo agoI am not invested in anything, I am merely sharing my personal experience.
- sesm 10mo agoA tarot layout is also a food for thought, but it's free ang gives your eyes a break from a computer.
