I have a very close friend who is an engineer for programming(idk what the title is rn) at a very large company.
He says he has managed to keep one or two codebases "AI free" but when I asked if he has to review any AI code he said it's completely unavoidable and everyone uses it now. He's proud of the fact that they still require the coder to actually review the AI generated slop before passing it off to him.
It's bleak
This, except in my case there's no reviewer, I either review or do the rest of my work. Someone in my team is really a broker with the AI and he has such a bad grasp on the core of our codebase that I've had to spend several days refactoring the AI's vomit just to get something mildly performant (it's graphics-related code). It's clear when making new things that he just doesn't plan for the future and every new piece of code is just a hack to deliver the feature, instead of discussing the code with the others at least. Worst part is that there is seemingly no end to this
Yeah. My buddy is, luckily for him, able to dictate a lot of things still
