I disagree. Don't assume "most humans" are anything like Silicon Valley startup developers. Most developers out there in the wild would definitely struggle to solve problems like this.

For example, a common criticism of AI-generated code is the risk of introducing vulnerabilities.

I just sat in a meeting for an hour, literally begging several developers to stop writing code vulnerable to SQL injection! They just couldn't understand what I was even talking about. They kept trying to use various ineffective hacky workarounds ("silver bullets") because they just didn't grok the the problem.

I've found GPT 4 outperforms median humans.
