AI generation when writing software is a false economy. You are replacing writing code with code review. Code review is harder and requires you to already have an understanding of the domain which often means that you would’ve even able to write it yourself to begin with. If you code gen something because you don’t know how to write it yourself, you by definition cannot review it without going though an effort equivalent to writing it yourself in the first place.

Unless of course you don’t care about code review and so doom yourself into treating software like magical incantations that break randomly for no perceivable reason; but no good mage would do that, surely.

@mary not sure about what specific generative tool you are referring to but the ones I tried are barely able to generate longer code than a method and have terrible contextual awareness. I still find that useful and faster than typing the method myself. They are also nice to learn new languages where you are not yet familiar with the standard library or syntax.
