@mayintoronto My relationship with those tools is complex.

Whomever uses them is accountable for every character that’s written. After all, it’s the user’s identity that’s tied to the code, not the genAI’s.

@EdwinG There are so many layers of abstraction away from a single individual's code that the concept of "accountability" feels weird.

@mayintoronto @EdwinG if you're going to put code out in public, especially if it is in any way safety critical, someone's going to be held accountable and you can bet it will be the grunt code monkey and not the manager who insisted in #AIForEverything.
