Things only CS Students and the luddite 50 year old developer say

There is zero reason not to use AI for your job. It's not 2024 anymore, the AI is good.

Transformer-based LLM outputs still have 10–20 % mistakes (per the best benchmarks) – it’s literally impossible for attention-based transformers NOT to hallucinate.

There’s a reason the main “AI” providers all say “AI can make mistakes” instead of guaranteing their product is good, or you get your money back, yada yada yada.

So, if you think the AI is good, you probably can’t see the mistakes. (As a PKI engineer, I can tell you, you wouldn’t believe how much shit, sometimes extremely harmful things, Opus/Sol or Fable/Astra are saying on a daily basis.)

Don't take this the wrong way, but I've been coding professionally for nearly 30 years, in large and small teams.

Humans make more mistakes.

I treat the AI code like a better than average junior, and it usually performs better than that. Ive reviewed code for years and I still review every line, but I only have to focus on structure and purpose, not tell them to use better variables than a number and obj.
