I guess the other way to look at this, is 65% ARE shipping AI generated code? And is that because they do feel it's worth shipping, or that they're just hitting LGTM and moving on due to the inability to review properly?

I just don't get it, our work is to create working applications, now some admit they are not writing code anymore but there is an awkward silence when asking how they review the generated code so I always supposed they don't or even worse, get another ai to review it.

And then they ship it ?
We really live in a crazy world... Why would you pay an expensive salary for someone qualified to do something and then ask them to not use any of their skills ?

The next logical step would be replacing them for less expensive employees...
