What we are seeing so far come out of the AI agent era is reduced not increased code quality. The few advances are by far negated by all the slop that's thrown around and that's unlikely to change.

That would require effort. Human effort and extra token cost. Not going to happen, people want to rather move fast an break things.

Isn't blaming AI for that similar to blaming C for buffer overflows?

More people are producing more code because of easier tools. Most code is bad. But that's not the tools fault.

And in the end it is a problem of processes and culture.

  • We are not in disagreement here. I'm not blaming AI, I'm blaming the culture around its use.
