@arstechnica AI can be a great tool for some applications...but it is by NO MEANS ready to be let loose unchecked. It will often make mistakes (it is sorting thru it's trained knowledge....which can be wrong completely or out of date). It often forgos secure code or efficient code to solve the problem. It will "hyperfocus" on what it thinks is the issue even if clearly looking it over it's unrelated or not even a problem. If you use AI, vet the results. Don't just trust it

Human behaviour question.

Are people using a shortcut machine, going to check shortcut machines output properly.

Or are they more likely to take shortcuts checking it's output?

@SuperMoosie @arstechnica you'll see both...but human nature likely leans towards using a shortcut to check the shortcut.
