Oh, *Great*. More Fucking Chaos.

Right, so some survey – because surveys are totally reliable – says nearly half the devs out there are now slapping together code with AI tools like GitHub Copilot and ChatGPT. Forty-two percent, they claim. Mostly AI-generated codebases. You know what that means? A colossal steaming pile of technical debt waiting to happen.

Apparently, these geniuses think it’s “faster” and “more efficient.” Faster to write insecure crap, maybe. Efficient at creating vulnerabilities they’ll be scrambling to fix when the inevitable breaches occur. They admit there are concerns about license compliance (shocking!), quality control (double shocking!), and understanding what the AI *actually* did (triple fucking shocking!).

The article drones on about how they’re trying to figure out governance, but let’s be real: it’ll be a disaster. They’re relying on tools they don’t fully grasp, building systems they can’t audit properly, and hoping for the best. And you know what happens when people hope for the best? Everything goes to hell in a handbasket.

Oh, and of course, security teams are pissed because now they have to figure out how to scan code written by a *machine*. Fantastic. Just fucking fantastic. More work for me, less sleep for everyone else.

Seriously, this is just asking for trouble. I’m predicting a surge in zero-day exploits and a whole lot of panicked patching. Don’t say I didn’t warn you.

Speaking of AI generated code… I once had to debug a script that was supposed to automate server backups. It was written by some bright spark using an early version of a similar tool. Turns out, the “AI” decided the most efficient way to back up data was to copy it all into a single text file. A *single* text file. The resulting monstrosity crashed every system it touched. I spent three days rebuilding servers from scratch. Don’t trust these things.
