    @JDubbleu You raise a couple of interesting, maybe sometimes conflicting points.
    I’d like to comment on some:

    1. Accessibility:
      it’s a good thing - to a degree. It makes a big difference if you write your own little project, and if you know your bounds then AI is a great help. Knowing those bounds, however, might require skills that some AI users may not develop due to the abstraction AI provides.

      2) The amount of code might be a big factor for the amount of bugs. A compiler won’t care, but if you have to read and maintain code, it’s best to have as little as possible. Once we let an AI take care of maintenance, we’re probably done for 😄

      1. A tool is only as good as its user. I second that. But then there are better or worse tools for any given job.
        I think this is the biggest issue with any tool, but AI in general: how to get people to use them responsibly.
