what are the risks of using AI to create code for a professional programmer
One can identify multiple risks with AI code generation or completion:
- Lack of learning: if an AI writes the code for you, you will often not learn as much.
- Lack of reviewing: a code might work but have bugs or security issues. Sometimes, programmers are lazy and do not review the code written by the AI
- Security issues: because AI is trained on human code data, it can reproduce security issues that are often made by humans.
- Intellectual Property issues: AI can sometime copy parts of code they have been trained on. This can lead to IP issues.
