as someone who uses ai to help on researching an issue/question - i have no understanding whyvpeople just submit generated code. i realize i just dont use it to generate stuff. i use it to find stuff.
when this forst came out, i thought non devs would use it for creating an app that they use at home just for them. but no, i constantly see people posting about their project and trying to getvpeople involved. a project fully generated by an llm. or as in the issue here, generating code to be merged into a project…why? i jist dont get it.
Ok it occurs to me that people use this like they use a spellinng/grammar checker in a word processor.
Spellcheck:
They have an idea.
They type up the idea.
They run spellcheck and it churns through their document and it fixes mistakes that it can see.
They send it to someone for review.
LLM coding:
They have an idea.
They type up the idea.
LLM churns on the idea and spits out a solution-of-sorts.
They send it to someone for review.
Regardless of other opinions of it, they see it as a tool that helps take the effort out of getting ideas into reality.
Edit:
Oh wait, this is c/programming. Fuck. Ok, give me 5 minutes for me to sharpen my pitchfork and come up with something that matches the groupthink, I’ll be right back.

I don’t think it’s very hard to understand. It reduces the up-front cost of development.
