Your LLM Doesn’t Write Correct Code. It Writes Plausible Code.

Ape coding

Funny dystopia about AI. “A recurring argument in favor of this perspective was based on comprehensibility. The volume of code AI developers could produce on demand was much larger than what human developers were able to produce and understand in… Read More »Ape coding
