Get ready to be called in to clean up the AI slop.
And we naively thought Excel files with VBA scripts used as a database was the worst that could fall into that category a decade or two ago.
I like the story’s coming out where the AI puts the API keys for expensive pay per use services in plane text or creates ultra inefficient code that makes unnecessary calls.
Such a waste resources as well, I can do all those things for a fraction of the cost.
There was one just yesterday where AI printed “Listening on 127.0.0.1:1234” while actually listening on “0.0.0.0:1234”.
Yeah I tried it, and it doesn’t work. If you were a coder and you knew what constituted good code and what didn’t then maybe this would be useful, but I didn’t test that because in that case I don’t really see the point.
All I was doing was just clicking accept on proposed changes (which is presumably all non-coders do because otherwise I don’t know what they’re basing their decisions on).
Its basically an upgrade to going on stackoverflow. Plus the AI is generally more pleasant to deal with.
Define “pleasant”
An upgrade is that you don’t learn anything?
