<oriansj>fossy: I can imagine why you might feel it is orthogonal to pregenerated files, but in many ways there is a bit of overlap due to humans not thinking about the contents and what it fully means.
<oriansj>as any code one doesn't write is potentially an underhanded C (or similiar) bit of code that looks reasonable but compromises the whole chain.
<lanodan>Yeah although that's more an audit/code-quality problem, like same as with code mostly generated from pre-LLM IDEs, with also the added problem of copyright.
<ovf>now i want the underhanded c contest back. :-(
<mihi>lanodan, I agree. AI generated code is no different than code contributed by strangers (without reputation, in a jurisdiction you cannot easily sue). Sometimes same bad quality, and both can have copyright issues (no matter what the contributor tells you).
<mihi>and both are intended to be read and edited by humans
