Study finds AI assistants help developers produce code that's more likely to be buggy

Can't agree. As cringe as it might seem, it's coming, but the idea it is not still programming or assumed for failure, to me is flawed, at least for now. For instance many can't get Chat GTP3 to give them a functioning clean code to do new things, but it's not only how you ask it, but your knowledge of coding. I've got it to make me a plugin for Blender that not only would take me much more studies in math, yet I got it to make it for me in two days of play and it works like a charm. That is after learning how to really work with it. The more you know and the more effort you put into being concise with your requests, the better the results. I got it to make me my own little local Codepen copy the first day. That's with a nerfed AI. IMAGINE THE POWER WITH CHAD GTP3

Basically, the only thing that's missing for me is connecting this sort of thing to AR/VR. Well that and a holodeck.

Re: Subhead: "At the same time, tools...make developers believe their code is sound"

So you don't use debuggers and other QA tools? Just as unsound to only trust us flawed humans.

For now sure

Yeah okay for now it does. But honestly, you should always quality assure your work right? So it's really irrelevant if you get your code from a YouTube video, a forum post or an AI.

Now if you're saying people are generating code and getting faulty results, they are using it wrong, not mention a special kind of dangerous not to even test it before release.

Again though, for now.

Should open source sniff the geopolitical wind and ban itself in China and Russia?

Pfft

This is pretty dumb.I can totally hate someone, be against a group I feel is evil who can use open source software for malevolent and evil purposes. I still don't think it would be justify changing FOSS into a political tool. Even begging the question is pretty gross.
