      That goes for AI and human made software. You should only use security critical software that is trusted by the community.

        sure, that’s true, but if we are being serious do you think software made nearly exclusively by a human (or humans) who care or software made mostly by a non-deterministic token generator working on behalf of a human who couldn’t bother to write the code themself is more likely to be maintained long enough to gain community trust

          Using AI isn’t just a sign of laziness. I don’t see an issue with using the tools available to do something in less time than usual. If a program is vibe coded then of course it’s usually going to be of bad quality, but if it’s a mix of human and human checked AI then it can still be a high quality project.
