Yes. You have to check the output. Could be a good opportunity to implement a policy/procedure * Archived Message Posted by torinese on February 22, 2025, 9:43:48, in reply to "Probably will, this is just a giant pet peeve of mine" Previous Message AI has a time and place, but if you're using it to write code then maybe just check it? Previous Message If you’re close, maybe mention to him that the program was cocked up so they can do better in the future. If it’s just some guy, whatevs. 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?
