I meant reviewed by a (competent) human; not, audited by a security team/whatever. Generative computer code is in a whole new category of risk, because it can hallucinate a `rm -rf *` that you might overlook if you don't understand the code yourself.


Well at least for now, any non-trivial code is going to be written by a human+AI, likely one function at a time. It's pretty rare for the AI to give me exactly what I want, often I have to tweak my prompts multiple times, and even just give up and write a function based on the useful bits from previous queries.

I just don't see it chatbot assisted programming any worse than what we have today.
