    I’ve seen a few LLM generated C++ code changes at my work. Which is horrifying.

    • One was complete nonsense on it’s face and never should have been sent out. The reviewer was basically like “what is this shit” only polite.
    • One was subtly wrong, it looked like that one probably got committed… I didn’t say anything because not my circus.

    No one’s sent me any AI generated code yet, but if and when it happens I’ll add whoever sent it to me as one of the code reviewers if it looks like they hadn’t read it :) (probably the pettiest trolling I can get away with in a corporation)

      I’m pretty sure that my response in that situation would get me fired. I mean, I’d start with “how many trees did you burn and how many Kenyans did you call the N-word in order to implement this linked list” and go from there.
