Are you better at coding than an AI? Developers don’t think so - and that could be a big problem

- Survey of 800 developers reveals over half believe AI can code better than humans
- But most are positive about changes AI is bringing
- Reservations remain, with job security, data privacy, and inaccuracies still causing concerns

Makes me wonder where they polled. Experienced devs would see this differently I would hope.

If they polled at colleges God help us. The clueless.

shill detected; remove hypercopium in progress.

Functions? AI is definitely faster. The architecture and overall design? AI is horrible.

yeah of course, what the mass media says, is always the truth.

Right?

Sure, sure!

"Job security and inaccuracies causing problems"

The risk isn't that AI will replace us, it's that shareholders will settle for AI-generated code, bringing forth the worst possible outcomes for everyone involved.

@lorentz There are two kinds of bad code:

1) Code that has bugs
2) Code that never ships

#1 has always existed. It will always exist.

Same with #2.

But there are inefficiencies with humans (like sleeping, eating, having a life outside of work). And businesses generally like to ship the stuff they build. The faster, the better. Through computers, even. If there are bugs, the humans will be hired to intervene and even architect better ways of working with the computers to make them ship better code faster.

In other words, this new development of AI doing stuff is really no different from all the other allegedly employment-ending technologies that have come about. We just need to adapt, again, like we did before.

On the positive side it will make starting a company a lot easier since making a website will be 1-2-3

@BordedDev Yes. And then I can stop focusing on fonts and colors and start focusing on making my clients actual money. Because they're still never gonna learn the tools and how to use them the right ways. Even if insert prompt make website works flawlessly. They'll still insert stupid prompts and make stupid websites.

@stackodev Yes, but instead of wasting your time they will be wasting the AIs time
