Most depressing thing this week was someone asking me for help programming-wise and basically starting off with "So, ChatGPT generated this code for me..." and some part inside of me died.I know, AI is not going anywhere, but I personally don't want to be an AI code reviewer.

@navi I'm the sameand to be fair, the code wasn't the problem here, but having a full file of code generated where anything could potentially be an issue without having a "I wrote this, I can at least somewhat pinpoint some area" focus is just painful.

@pixel@desu.social i've seen this a lot ðŸ˜, especially in public forums like GitHub issuesFor me it's not as much about the code being bad (it's usually kinda decent ever since OpenAI made GPT-4o free), but more about the person having a worse level of understanding of the code they're sending which can lead to lots of confusion

@jessew Yeah, the code wasn't the problem here either, it basically just was a lazy "rename all references of x in XClass to y" but the chance of _somewhere_ in that entire file something slipping in as a generation error/mistake is non-zero and thus makes it a pain.

@pixel @jessew next time try calling out gpt as nothing but a tool for students to practice learning/fixing code, and say it would be academically unethical to do someone else's homework
