This article starts off by saying AI can be useful for question-answering, but then quickly states that if you're using AI to generate code "you're wasting your time:"

What? If you hire a writer to write a blog post, who is going to verify that they didn't just fill in gibberish? It's you. You there, in the front. You're the one.

If you can't find any way to independently verify that the software is doing what you think it should do, I don't think you have any business generating it, whether you use AI or code it by hand. That's like commissioning a portrait of someone you've never seen.
