I agree with OP. It’s already the case that when I write code by hand I forget to do stuff that an AI with good instructions would never forget. I struggle with Boolean conditions that get more complex than a few operators while the AI can easily explain and track things like that. Debugging in your head was necessary sometimes to figure out why something was doing unexpected things, now you ask an AI and explain the strange behavior and it will tell you exactly what the problem was in seconds. In summary, at least let the AI review your work, you will be surprised how many issues it finds. At some point it’s just not worth it trying to do things manually, it’s even becoming irresponsible, like not using a type system ( though even that argument was polemic once)
replyYou are explaining why it’s safer “for you” to let AI write code for you, considering the safety here is being put forward in comparison to coding in assembly. That’s fair.
replyBut it still doesn’t explain based on what principle and logic this is the case with regard to coding in a higher level language vs. assembly.
Let’s reframe the question: why do you think writing in assembly is less safe? Do the same reasons apply to AI coding? What are those reasons?
Don’t get me wrong, I think it’s good to let AI have a pass at the code, but this doesn’t lead to the above conclusion IMO.
