![Naturally, relying 100% on AI with no experience to audit the code, it means you'll have to trust the output and you'll have no way of knowing where the bug is if and when the software acts up.
AI, as it's trained on both the languages themselves and probably examples written online by other people (the first example I can think of is Stack Overflow), can produce an output based on them, but the AI doesn't truly "know" if it's correct, what your wishes are and, most important, what's the context:
- Will that code work if added to other code?
- Will there be conflicts the AI was unaware of?
- How much time will you have to spend to debug it?
- Does it cause security holes?
- Did the AI consider [X]?
- Can you update it if you want to add more?
The last point, in particular, becomes egregious when the feature you want to add is a small one but, because you don't know how to code, AI must do it for you, which I think is a pointless waste of time and resources.
Additionally, if you lack the necessary mathematical knowledge (more complex coding is comparable to engineering), I don't believe you can produce more advanced features as this requires A LOT of creative, out-of-the-box thinking combined with advanced math; a kind of flexibility that I don't think the AI can have (and even then, again, you'd have to trust its output and pray it's both what you wanted and is not gonna blow up).
To me, those who think they can generate stuff of such complexity with just AI without any coding experience feel like they are expecting to make a 5 Stars dinner with no cooking experience and using a vending machine only.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:5uufr7jxk3emfh2usflm4vao/bafkreifpdwzmjdb36shme7ptbgtiapvcunlzkyke45v26uiqrt4vku53te)
