Any suggestion that generated code is inferior to human written code because the generated code can contain vulnerabilities is ridiculous on its face. Human written code, despite all of the tools we have to assist with the creation of secure code, is full of vulnerabilities AND the problem is getting worse - not better. I guess I should be grateful because developers writing insecure code is the whole reason I have a career, but let's not fool ourselves into thinking that just because a human wrote the code it's less likely to contain vulnerabilities than generated code.

A good developer can think about and understand the code they're writing. An AI cannot.
