Whoever you are, don’t outsource your understanding, judgement, empathy and taste to AI. Don’t abdicate your responsibility. Don’t be a meat proxy.
By expanding the ability to program to people without the knowledge of how that code works in the first place, it’s naive to expect that most uses of AI in programming will be informed uses by senior developers able to recognize errors and security flaws.
Such a pro-AI position also ignores the enormous amount of theft that these tools are built on.

Ain’t that the biggest oxymoron you’ve seen today.
They are not given the ability to program, per se, in my opinion. They are doing something else.
Maybe I’m misunderstanding your comment though. Not sure if you’re referring to the code output when you said “that code”, or some other code. Please let me know if I got it wrong.
