“You could not tell looking at these charts when AI-assisted coding became widely adopted. The core premise is flawed. Nobody is shipping more than before.

The impact on human lives is incredible. People are being fired because they’re not adopting these tools fast enough […]

This whole thing is bullshit.”

@paulwalk Does anyone have any experience of doing code reviews on AI generated code? Is that quicker or slower than doing code reviews of human written code? Are there issues with getting the author to explain bits of it where necessary?

[paulwalk@mastodon.social]

@TimWardCam these are very good questions, to which I do not have answers! I’ll boost your question - perhaps others can supply links or evidence

[timwardcam@c.im]

@paulwalk Yeah, I've not seen any studies yet. And also I've not been asked to CR any AI-generated code yet.

@TimWardCam @paulwalk I believe there has been some studies done and they concluded that developers said they felt more productive but in actual terms they were less productive.

In my experience Google Gemini for example makes both sane and insane suggestions, and unless you know the area yourself you wouldn't know which one to pick.

It's marginally better than a Google search but still prone to cargo cult nonsense.
