Humans love to be lazy when they can be, and AI is a tempting fruit on the tree. People get sold on this vague promise of a shortcut that will allow you to prioritize other things, while whichever plagarism machine arbitrarily inserts whatever code does the job.

His response is a good example of where a developer of a large project who probably doesn't get enough help, or just decided that lazy is better than actually doing hard work, has shut off his brain and is relying on a computer that's incapable of coding standards that benefit the project.

As a senior FOSS dev of nearly 25 years, AI is going to poison our industry with these types of devs enabling it's possible demise.
