Um, it’s a public repository. You can view the code that’s been added. Even if it IS AI generated, you can review it yourself.

I’m as anti-AI as anyone but this is misplaced AI-alarmism.

can review it yourself.

You’re a supervisor and you have 2 employees: Bill and Jim. As a supervisor your job is to ensure the work is being done correctly.

Bill is competent and rarely makes major mistakes. Jim is a savant at screwing up – he regularly fucks up in ways that aren’t immediately obvious but are guaranteed to cause serious problems days to weeks from the screw up.

You can glance over Bill’s work and be fairly certain it’s fine. You need to go over every single piece Jim’s work to check for problems, and even then some are probably going to slip through.

AI is currently Jim, and Jim has no business writing code for anything privacy or security focused.

This is a great example since AI isn’t taking on the role of an independent software engineer here, so there is no “Jim” and this is much less of an issue than y’all are making it out to be. You know that auto-correct is also a form of ML right? Have you considered that tools can be used responsibly and that standards for software developers still apply even when they use new tools?

You know that auto-correct is also a form of ML right?

Yeah, and I don’t fuckin use it.

Also, my auto-correct is saying that sentence is missing a comma, so I guess you don’t either.

Cool that’s great. Can you tell me that none of the software you use has been developed by software engineers making use of machine learning methods?
