I'd passive aggressively send a question referencing the code. "Hey I'm trying to fix this code that Archived Message Posted by doubledown on February 21, 2025, 12:16:35, in reply to "What would you do - work AI edition" doesn't look like It's doing what it intends, but I want to make sure I understand why it was written this way in case I don't have the whole context." Previous Message Covering for a coworker while he's gone for 3 weeks. Coworker is newer to the general field, and is big into ChatGPT and the other stupid AI nonsense. I just had to fix some completely wrong code he wrote and has been using for a while. I'm about 75% that he tried to just have some AI model write the query and then he didn't really double check it. ALso possible that he didn't know what he's doing, but this guy has been around long enough to know better. Still, the mistakes look AI-ish Would you confront them on return, or just fix it and move on?
