alt Hacker NewsI must say, I do love how this comment has provoked such varying responses.
My own observations about using AI to write code is that it changes my position from that of an author to a reviewer. And I find code review to be a much more exhausting task than writing code in the first place, especially when you have to work out how and why the AI-generated code is structured the way it is.

You could just ask it? Or you don’t trust the AI to answer you honestly?

Your always reviewing code though. Either a team mates pr or maybe your own code in 3 months, or some legacy thing.
There's a very wide range of programming tasks of differing difficulty that people are using / trying to use it for, and a very wide range of intelligence amongst the people that are using / trying to use it, and who are evaluating its results. Hence, different people have very different takes.
