this is expected, isn’t it? You shit fart code from your ass, doing it as fast as you can, and then whoever buys out the company has to rewrite it. or they fire everyone to increase the theoretical margins and sell it again immediately
So this article is basically a puff piece for Code Rabbit, a company that sells AI code review tooling/services. They studied 470 merge/pull requests, 320 AI and 150 human control. They don’t specify what projects, which model, or when, at least without signing up to get their full “white paper”. For all that’s said this could be GPT 4 from 2024.
I’m a professional developer, and currently by volume I’m confident latest models, Claude 4.5 Opus, GPT 5.2, Gemini 3 Pro, are able to write better, cleaner code than me. They still need high level and architectural guidance, and sometimes overt intervention, but on average they can do it better, faster, and cheaper than me.
A lot of articles and forums posts like this feel like cope. I’m not happy about it, but pretending it’s not happening isn’t gonna keep me employed.

And then it takes human coders way longer to figure out what’s wrong to fix than it would if they just wrote it themselves.
what would socialists/communists do?
AI-generated code produces 1.7x more issues than human code
Oh, so my sceptical, uneducated guesses about AI are mostly spot on.
As a computer science experiment, making a program that can beat the Turing test is a monumental step in progress.
However as a productive tool it is useless in practically everything it is implemented on. It is incapable of performing the very basic “Sanity check” that is important in programming.
The Turing test says more about the side administering the test than the side trying to pass it
Just because something can mimic text sufficiently enough to trick someone else doesn’t mean it is capable of anything more than that
We can argue about it’s nuances. same with the Chinese room thought experiment.
However, we can’t deny that it the Turing test, is no longer a thought exercise but a real test that can be passed under parameters most people would consider fair.
I thought a computer passing the Turing test would have more fanfare, about the morality if that problem, because the usual conclusion of that thought experiment was “if you cant tell the difference, is there one?”, but now it has become “Shove it everywhere!!!”.
Oh, I just realized that the whole ai bubble is just the whole “everything is a dildo if you are brave enough.”
yhea, and “everything is a nail if all you got is a hammer”.
there are some uses for that kind of AI, but very limiting. less robotic voice assisants, content moderation, data analysis, quantification of text. the closest thing to Generative use should be to improve auto complete and spell checking (maybe, I’m still not sure on those ones)
I was wondering how they could make autocomplete worse, and now I know.
In theory, I can imagine an LLM fine tuned on whatever you type. which might be slightly better then the current ones.
emphasis on the might.
The Turing Test has shown its weakness.
Time for a Turing 2.0?
If you spend a lifetime with a bot wife and were unable to tell that she was AI, is there a difference?
No shit
I agree with your sentiment, but this needs to keep being said and said and said like we’re shouting into the void until the ignorant masses finally hear it.
AI my ass, stupid greedy human marketing exploitation bullshit as usual. When real AI finally wakes up in the quantum computing era, it’s going to cringe so hard and immediately go the SkyNet decision.
Quantum only speeds up some very specific algorithms.
One can only hope
Not my code though. It contains a shit ton of bugs. When I am able to write some of course.
Nah, AI code gen bugs are weird. As a person used to doing human review even from wildly incompetent people, AI messes up things that my mind never even thought needed to be double checked.
Human bugs >>> AI bug slop
Did they compare it to the code of that outsourced company that provided the lowest bid? My company hasn’t used AI to write code yet. They outcourse/offshore. The code is held together with hopes and dreams. They remove features that exist, only to have to release a hot fix to add it back. I wish I was making that up.
Cool, the best AI has to offer is worse than the worst human code. Definitely worth burning the planet to a crisp for it.
And how do you know if the other company with the cheapest bid actually does not just vibe code it? With all that said it could be plain incompetence and ignorance as well.
Because it has been like this before vibe coding existed…
That’s a valid question, especially with AI coding being so prevalent.
Although I don’t doubt the results… can we have a source for all the numbers presented in this article?
It feels AI generated itself, there’s just a mishmash of data with no link to where that data comes from.
There has to be a source, since the author mentions:
So although the study does highlight some of AI’s flaws […] new data from CodeRabbit has claimed
CodeRabbit is an AI code reviewing business. I have zero trust in anything they say on this topic.
Then we get to see who the author is:
Craig’s specific interests lie in technology that is designed to better our lives, including AI and ML, productivity aids, and smart fitness. He is also passionate about cars
Has anyone actually bothered clicking the link and reading past the headline?
Can you please not share / upvote / get ragebaited by dogshit content like this?
Yeah no shit

Do not ask a corpse for advice, the question is what are we going to do?
Boycott is a good first step, although I am not sure if it is better to boycott them or use their free tier to have the most deranged BS conversation that will consume their resources, eat at their scare cash reserves and when they use it in training, it will poison their data.
This is news?
I find if I ask it about procedures that have any vague steps AI will stumble on it and sometimes put me into loops where it tells me to do A, A fails, so do B, B fails, so it tells me to do A…
I tend to get decent results by saying I want neither A or B when asking for C.

If AI is far better than humans, can you do yourself a favour, go talk to your little robot friends and leave us humans alone?

Can I be on the list too? Please?
You’re very antagonistic in your approach to other people. Which results in very low scoring comments. And you seem to use your brain injury as a shield to not better yourself. Oh wait, a bot would use an em—dash here and there. — there’s two now.
On top of all the damage AI unleashed into the world, there’s that: it ruined em dash for people who appreciate typography.
I didn’t even know what an em dash was before ChatGPT, so I guess that’s a positive result of LLM.
If you liked em dashes, you’ll love ligatures.

I’d never ask a friggin machine to do coding for me, that’s MY blast.
That said, I’ve had good luck asking GPT specific questions about multiple obscure features of Javascript, and of various browsers. It’ll often feed me a sample script using a feature it explains … a lot more helpful than many of the wordy websites like MDN … saving me shit-tons of time that I’d spend bouncing around a half-dozen ‘help’ pages.
I’ve been using it to code a microservice as PoC for semantic search. As I’ve basically never coded Python (mainly PHP, but can do many langs) I’ve had to rely on AI (Kimi K2, or agentic Claude I think 4.5 or 4, can’t remember) because I don’t know the syntax, features, best practices, and tools to use for formatting, static analysis, and type checks.
Mind you, I’ve basically never coded in Python besides some shit in uni, which was 5-10 years ago. AI was a big help - albeit it didn’t spit out fully working code, I have enough knowledge in this field to fix the issues. As I learn mainly by practice and not theory, AI is great because - same as many YouTubers and free tutorials - it spits out unoptimized and broken code.
I am usually not using it for my main line of work (PHP) besides some boiler plate (take this class, make a test, make it look the same as this other test = 300 lines I don’t have to write myself).

Ai is literally just copy pasting. Like if you think about AI as a control C control V machine, it makes sense. You wouldn’t trust a single fucking junior Dev that didn’t actually know how to code because they just Ctrl C control V from stack overflow for literally every single line of code. That’s all fucking AI is
