Don't worry! It'll only get better, as the amount of ouroboros training data explodes.

Weren't we taught that recycling is good?

Seems to be that just like scrum, AI eventually turns terrible code into passable code, and good code into passable code.

We're getting drowned by "good enough". Not "good" mind you, just "good enough".

Any methodology or tool, really. Eventually, we're all just participating in cargo cults.

Well, the AI can at least be constrained to "the code actually compiles, runs, and produces the correct output."

The number of internet answers that can't pass that bar is distressingly high.

I mean, I guess I interpreted the chart in tfa to indicate that this doesn't always happen.

in order, is is best to reduce, reuse, THEN recycle.

Thank you. Correct ordering is, indeed, important.

For example, "burn, then rape, pillage, and plunder" never works out quite right.
