When I first adopted AI use I was overly optimistic of it's ability to understand and reliably fix code. One day after several of refactoring, I gave it what I thought was a simple larger task to refactor a single larger source file. I watched in horror as it when completely wrong corrupting two large source files before I terminated it. With undo not an option as many small changes had be made consecutively I ended up having to go back to source control for a clean slate and lost several hours of effort.

I now never trust an LLM to do a task of this size even though I know some people love agents and let them run hog wild on their code bases it will be a cold day in hell before I let even the best frontier model run unsupervised on my code.
