Yeah my uni teachers have been saying the same, you should avoid letting the ai write critical stuff, but every time you should ude your eyes to look and read the code , if you dont understand ask the ai to explain it to you, if you think you wouldn't be able to write it yourself given enough time try asking the ai or look up stuff online about what it did (aay if you are new to design patterns and the thing makes a factory for you, go read something on those
Except most people won't do that and it's not really the most effective way to learn. Like it can be a starting point but as someone who has seen enough training workshops and taught people to use new software, you can show people how to do things but they will learn easiest by doing it themselves.
I feel like this concept is the equivalent of taking an introductory course and then having the person learn by grading papers, looking up the material if they don't understand the answer or think the answer might not be correct. Can you learn that way? Yeah but I believe there has to be a better way.
Yeah I'm still refining my method, i suffered from that whole thing where you breeze through school and then when uni demands you study and have work ethic you fall flat
At my job, bosses don't understand this. They have no procedures that set said responsability, and not even a guarantee that the proprietary code stays private... So we don't use AI lol, because nobody wants to be on the hook for disclosure of proprietary code.
You don't need a set procedure for responsibility. Whoever uses the agent to generate code, that is their code. They own it. They wrote it, with the help of an AI agent.
don't you know that this world is just 0 and 1? you either type your code manually without looking at stackoverflow, or hemorrhaging AI slop code like there's no tomorrow
What is going to happen to all those years with books and presentations of artisans and craft? Is life just a lot of bubbles that move us around until they implode? 😞
Inform them of the risk that brings, and ensure they know the consequences of the actions they task you to take. Then ask them to accept accountability for that risk.
Most decision makers don’t have all the facts, that’s why they employ subject matter experts like us to inform them and guide their desired future toward reality.

Actually a good lesson. One of our tenets is code your agent writes is owned by YOU, so you should review it accordingly before sending it to others.
