Over the past few years, the evolution of AI-driven tools like GitHub’s Copilot and other large language models (LLMs) has promised to revolutionise programming. By leveraging deep learning, these tools can generate code, suggest solutions, and even troubleshoot issues in real-time, saving developers hours of work. While these tools have obvious benefits in terms of productivity, there’s a growing concern that they may also have unintended consequences on the quality and skillset of programmers.

    You’re missing the point, if the program doesn’t do what it’s meant to its you that didn’t use the tools between you and metal. LLM involved or not, it’s how you’ve described it, in whatever ‘language’ you choose (natural or Rust)

      The key difference is that compilers don’t fuck up, outside of the very rare compiler bug. LLMs do fuck up, quite often.
