#AskFedi Am I lagging behind for not linking AI code generation?
Like, I use AI daily to ask questions, check APIs and what not, but I simply cannot trust it to generate code for me, at least not autonomously.
All friends around me tell me I'm crazy and that I should just prompt, let the AI generate stuff and then just double check it makes sense. It just feels weird to me.

@jlhertel@fosstodon.org Knowing the people around, you are most likely to be told here you are crazy to use LLMs even for basic questions! 😅 I personally enjoy reading refernce documentation, and writing code as a way of thinking and modelling the problem in my mind. Reviewing LLM-generated code has given me enough evidence that the people using such tools rarely understand the whole system behind - so, I suppose it's not my cup of tea. (and that's ignoring the economic-bubble-like situation)
