Yesterday I got AI (a sota model) to write some tests for a backend I'm working on. One set of tests was for a function that does a somewhat complex SQL query that should return multiple rows In the test setup, the AI added a single da

I really feel this myself. If I write home-grown organic code then I have no choice but to fully understand the problem. Using an LLM it's very easy to be lazy, at least in the short term Where does that get me after 3 months? I end up

No-one should have the expectation LLMs are giving correct answers 100% of the time. It's inherent to the tech for them to be confidently wrong Code needs to be checked References need to be checked Any facts or claims need to be check
