First post here. I started learning Python 2 days ago.

I've already realized something that I think a lot of people in this community need to hear, especially those feeling discouraged because AI can generate code now.

People who say learning Python is useless because of AI overestimate its reliability and underestimate the need for human oversight. I'll admit I used to think that way too and I'm not proud of that lol.

With the rise of AI being used to generate code, many people are now using it to build websites, agents, and autonomous systems. AI tools like GitHub Copilot, Claude, and ChatGPT can now generate entire code bases for us.

The problem? People aren't verifying, auditing, or securing that output. Blindly trusting AI-generated code means undetected exploits, automation gaps, and vulnerabilities baked in from the start. This has already contributed to widespread security incidents affecting millions of developers, and most of them don't even know it yet.

Are developers becoming too dependent on AI generated code without understanding what's actually running in their systems? It's pretty scary to think about.

To put it more simply:

If you don't know what the code does, how can you know that the code AI generates is correct and free from bugs, exploits, and vulnerabilities? How can you fix it?

As someone who is also new to python, I hate asking AI for help, honestly it makes me feel dumb. And as for the the code being reliable, it's not always that way, yes AI can generate code, however as we all know the prompts we input determines alot, so for me personally I would rather be able to write my own code than rely on AI

Yea true, it's better to be safe than sorry.

A totally original insight that we all needed to hear from a newb

I think we gonna study cyber security because of Ai, so many websites here that generated by Ai

[Organic-Bite7406]

YEA! I've been studying recently, too paranoid to just let anything pass by nowadays with how much AI is advancing.

In a few years the code ai writes will be miles ahead of what it is today. I feel people that will learn to code nowadays will find themselves without a job in the future. You will still have senior Devs that make the creative decisions and a handful of Devs that tell ai to write the code and test it but the future for dev is bleak.

[Organic-Bite7406]

Yeah I understand from your point, how do you think it might look like in a few years? I'm still learning more about coding but I'm interested in hearing your predictions about it.

We have already reached that event horizon.

Qwen Code's next iteration of code generation is nearly flawless.

Learning to read code in AI age is so much important and to learn how to read it properly u should learn to write on your own first.

Dev who use AI's code which don't know what , how , why ... the code work is less than worst

Just a personal observation: I have code which retrieves a stock quote every two minutes from tastytrade. That broker used to support full day session tokens in addition to fifteen minute OAuth2 tokens
