Companies claiming 100% of their product's code is now written by AI consistently put out the worst garbage you can imagine. Not pointing fingers, but memory leaks in the gigabytes, UI glitches, broken-ass features, crashes: that is not the seal of quality they think it is. And it's definitely not good advertising for the fever dream of having your agents do all the work for you.

This is true in my personal experience too. Its much faster to use AI but it always causes some weird bugs and glitches over time, and duplicated code is common.

But I think companies will continue to use it, since its still faster than writing code manually. But software quality is going down and is going to be seen as something that can be patched with AI in the future.

Imho AI for rapid rapid prototyping is okay, but for that code to achieve production levels of quality you would need to invest so much time in rewrite and debugging, using AI wouldn't be the accelerator everyone wishes it to be.

Yeah. Im using it to get a prototype up, and then I have to rewrite things. But im using AI to rewrite too, telling it specific parts.
