    It’s simply better than a human could have produced in the same time. If it works who cares how clean it is like this is what I don’t get about programmers they’re so obsessed with cleanness and it doesn’t matter it’s so unimportant to the end goal yeah I get that maintenance of the program would be a pain but the AI is going to do that so who cares.

    I do sort of feel that this community is so obsessed with hating AI that they don’t give it the benefit of the doubt when it actually achieve things.

    The problem with AI is not the product itself it’s the way that people use it like let’s not lose sight to that, that’s not give all the tech Bros ammunition by trying to claim that everything AI does is terrible and bad and awful simply because it was the AI that did it.

      It matters to the compiler so the code actually will run and not break. It matters to whoever has to fix or update it when things change. It matters to the hardware it runs on and how much memory that hardware has.

      It very much matters.

        Yeah I get that but if we’re going all in on AI then humans won’t be involved in the process of recompaneling it.

        Like I wouldn’t want infrastructure criticals software to be like that but if it’s just random stuff that needs to run for me personally then I don’t really care.

          How code is written directly impacts how well it runs and if it can even do what you want. Like if it’s written shitty it might work for 95% of the time and things you need it to but 5% you hit some random edge case and it explodes because it wasn’t properly tested and developed.
