What's the difference between asking an AI to write you a module you never read and installing a 3rd-party module without auditing all its source code?

What's the difference between asking an AI to write you a module you never read and installing a 3rd-party module without auditing all its source code?
- skydhash 4mo agoTrust and reputation. I would use Stripe, curl, and ffmpeg without audits, because I trust them to provide good code and to respect their API. I wouldn’t trust AI to write a Fibonacci series implementation. The AI has no reputation to wager for my trust.
- frikk 4mo agostars on github? I've wondered the same thing.
- Xirdus 4mo agoIf the 3rd party module is popular, its badness will affect other people too and either the module will get improved or well known workarounds/"best practices" will develop. With AI-generated code, more often than not you're the sole user.
