This is exactly what I wrote about when I wrote "Copilot Induced Crash" [0]

Funny story: when I first posted that and had a couple of thousand readers, I had many comments of the type "you should just read the code carefully on review", but _nobody_ pointed out the fact that the opening example (the so called "right code") had the exact same problem as described in the article, proving exactly what you just said: it's hard to spot problems that are caused by plausibility machines.

If it crashes, you are very lucky.

AI generated code will fuck up so many lives. The post office software in the UK did it without AI. I cannot imagine the way and the number of lives will be ruined since some consultancy vibe coded some government system. I might come to appreciate the German bureaucracy and backwardness.
