I hope this is satire π

Yes, yes there are weird people out there. That's the whole point of having humans able to understand the code be able to correct it.
Chatgpt make this code secure against weird people trying to crash and exploit it ot

The fact that βAIβ hallucinates so extensively and gratuitously just means that the only way it can benefit software development is as a gaggle of coked-up juniors making a senior incapable of working on their own stuff because theyβre constantly in janitorial mode.
Depending on what it is you're trying to make, it can actually be helpful as one of many components to help get your feet wet. The same way modding games can be a path to learning a lot by fiddling with something that's complete, getting suggestions from an LLM that's been trained on a bunch of relevant tutorials can give you enough context to get started. It will definitely hallucinate, and figuring out when it's full of shit is part of the exercise.
It's like mid-way between rote following tutorials, modding, and asking for help in support channels. It isn't as rigid as the available tutorials, and though it's prone to hallucination and not as knowledgeable as support channel regulars, it's also a lot more patient in many cases and doesn't have its own life that it needs to go live.
Decent learning tool if you're ready to check what it's doing step by step, look for inefficiencies and mistakes, and not blindly believe everything it says. Just copying and pasting while learning nothing and assuming it'll work, though? That's not going to go well at all.
It'll just keep better at it over time though. The current ai is way better than 5 years ago and in 5 years it'll be way better than now.
To get better it would need better training data. However there are always more junior devs creating bad training data, than senior devs who create slightly better training data.

That's certainly one theory, but as we are largely out of training data there's not much new material to feed in for refinement. Using AI output to train future AI is just going to amplify the existing problems.
This is certainly the pattern that is actively emerging.

This is what happens when you don't know what your own code does, you lose the ability to manage it, that is precisely why AI won't take programmer's jobs.
I donβt need ai to not know what my code does
The increasing use of AI is horrifying. Stop playing Frankenstein! Quit creating thinking beings and using them as slaves.
Ha, you fools still pay for doors and locks? My house is now 100% done with fake locks and doors, they are so much lighter and easier to install.
Wait! why am I always getting robbed lately, it can not be my fake locks and doors! It has to be weirdos online following what I do.
