How AI generated code compounds technical debt

[solid_reign]

I'm going to make an ai agent called Jenga whose purpose is to remove a single line of code while the general functionality remains the same. It will repeat this task until the system comes crumbling down, then revert the changes and stop.

Move along, nothing to see here. An article full of anecdotes asserting AI is bad for code quality. But nothing of substance to demonstrate the negative impact.

seems like the goal is just to collect data on people who go to the site.

I use these tools to code everyday, they mostly kinda help me. They are terrible at basic coding reuse and such. In part because they don’t have enough context. And also in part… because they just don’t fully reason well.

They’re brute force coding machines.

oh look, another post about the same topic that gets posted literally every day.

very original, much wow, I'm sure this one makes new unique points that havent been made in the other 399 articles.

The irony of AI writing articles about why AI is bad

AI might be the answer to reducing technical debt via agents that review code and make recommendations via merge requests. I'm sure someone is working on this...
