Now that AI has become the main tool used by developers to write code, even in open source environments, it will be how feds will slip in backdoors to applications because nobody is going to review the logic of 20000 lines written by AI in a single commit.
Unless projects completely ban use of AI and only allow small commits, this is going to be inevitable. I’ve been seeing so many applications merging AI slop to their code on github already.
Yes, the context of what you’re doing certainly matters. I had to get into an archive file that I didn’t know what to do with one time. I used AI to build me a little app to visualize its content. Was it perfect? I doubt it. Did it function and get me the info I was looking for? Yeah!
As a rule of thumb, would you trust Momo Yaoyorozu to build you a solution or do you need to be able to blame someone when the solution blows up regardless of having a human build it?
