All the above is also true (though perhaps in different proportions) of humans writing code! But here’s the big difference:

When humans write the code, those humans are •thinking• about the problem the whole time: understanding where those flaws might be hiding, playing out the implications of business assumptions, studying the problem up close.

When AI write the code, none of that happens. It’s a tradeoff: faster code generation at the cost of reduced understanding.
