    What people don’t realize is that AI does not write good code unless you tell it to. I am playing a lot with AI doing the writing, while I give it specific prompts, but even then, very often it changes code that was totally unnecessary. And this is the dangerous part.

    I believe the only thing repo owners could do is use AI against AI. Let the blind AI contributors drown in work by constantly telling them to improve the code, and by asking critical questions.

        Obviously you have no clue how LLM’s work and it is way more complex than just telling it to weite good code. What I was saying is, that even with a very good prompt, it will make up things and you have to double check it. However, for that you need to be able to read and understand code, which is not the case for 98% of the vibe coders.

          So what you’re saying is in order for “AI” to write good code I need to double check everything it spits out and correct it, effectively doing all the work myself. But sure, tell yourself that it saves any amount of time.
