Along these lines, when I hear that companies have turned their software development over to AI, that's like handing a 9-year-old the car keys, a bottle of bourbon, all the credit cards, and a loaded machine gun and saying, "Go make us proud, son."

@scottrl, I'd need to hear a specific reference to believe this claim. I don't know of any company that has given full responsibility to code development to AI. AI greatly accelerates code development. In addition, developing code to enable a user to utilize a mouse without sliding their hand on a pad can, in no way, be equated to a machine gun and bourbon in a car.

The potential errors in over reliance on AI is real, but hysterical exaggeration only weakens the need for caution.
