    You’ve never tried just giving it the task you did to see how it did?

      I hate doing a lot of code review all at once, and AI vomits a lot of code. Hopefully the mistake is obviously big and up front, but all too often the mistake dwells in the details that I would likely be too tired to notice after a lot of plausible code.

      With human code to review at least the volume is generally workable and when it’s wrong, it tends to be more obviously wrong. A human that takes care of very detailed facets with care inspires trust in their thoroughness, but codegen looks that way without the thorough consideration.

      Yes, and that’s the easiest way to get garbage.

      Asking for a single line of syntax and using my brain will always give me better results than checking out and gambling that the the output is based in reality.
