AI-generated code contains more bugs and errors than human output

Yeah. No shit. I used an LLM's "help" to make fin.

It got me reading and debugging more than 10 times the [bad] code, per day, than I had in the entire prior 10 years of using fish. [And reading the documentation way more too, learning a lot.]

... more bugs and errors than human output

However, it's not necessarily a bad thing, with AI improving efficiency across the initial stages of code generation.

Oh but it's so effortless. HA! Debugging takes a lot more effort. And then still have to just re-write it all yourself any way.

Still, it's a good learning experience.

Dear AI,

Thanks for being so shit.

Taught me a lot.
