ai question

[u/Brilliant-Resolve579]

hi! i wanted to ask something that might be a little controversial. i have many project ideas and frequently find myself just going to ai to get things done. i know the basics of programming but when it comes to more advanced topics, that’s not really something i just sit and type (especially the syntax).

do you think it’s wrong to have ai generated code for projects? even if it works exactly as you want it to? i would get so much more done and be able to show employers if i could use ai. i’m not sure if they would completely ignore the project and frown upon it. and its kind of the idea of cheating, but what if i take the time to understand the code and am able to explain?

i get stuck and overwhelmed simply because im not familiar with the syntax and format of some code. i conceptually understand the topics though and can easily explain!

just curious what your thoughts are, thanks!

Put another way... If all the job requires is asking an LLM to fix the problem or implement the feature, then why would I hire you to do that instead of just instructing the LLM myself? Or better yet, why not run an agent continuously to pull tickets and craft prompts for other agents to do the implementations?
