A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

The assumption here is that the AI-generated code wasn't reviewed and polished before submission. I've written stuff with AI and sometimes it does a fantastic job. Other times it generates code that's so bad it's a horror show.
Over time, it's getting a little bit better. Years from now it'll be at that 99% "good enough" threshold and no one will care that code was AI-generated anymore.
The key is that code is code: As long as someone is manually reviewing and testing it, you can save a great deal of time and produce good results. It's useful.
