Forum Voices
Developers are sharing their experiences with AI-generated code, and the verdict is mixed. Some are disappointed with the results, while others see potential for improvement.
I’m about to throw away multiple months of LLM generated code for one of my side projects. I was really careful writing design specs and it wasn’t even a new code base the LLM worked on, but still after several months of AI changes I feel my code degraded more and more into a subtle mess.
Others are skeptical about the ability of AI to replace human developers, citing the need for higher-level reasoning and domain expertise.
What’s very real is that companies selling one size fits all products to others are going to have a much harder time selling because everybody is going to expect a thing tailored to them because they now can. Delivering those things is still going to be work that needs to be done.
Conclusion
While AI-generated code may not be ready for prime time, it’s clear that the technology has the potential to disrupt the software development industry. As the demand for tailored solutions increases, developers with experience and domain expertise will be in high demand.
