| I just watched copilot today turn a 8 line fix into 500 lines, so, yeah, verbosity is a big side effect |

| It occurs to me this pattern might be the average code we humans have produced. We all have made those quick fixes, copy-pastas, and dirty hacks... they learned it somewhere! I also assume that some of the behavior is an artifact of their training regime. |

| ▲ | nielsbot 29 minutes ago | parent [-] | | Not advocating for AI code slop--but if AI coded software works correctly, maybe it doesn't matter? Except sometimes when a specialist will have to get involved. Not a perfect analogy, but most people don't write assembly these days--they have a compiler do that. Assembly still has a place, but it's a specialist task. |
