- mUEm22 (eBay): coding is only a small part of software engineering. And most people don’t like AI documentation slop.

Creator of C++: “AI-generated code isn’t ready - it generates more bugs, more bloat, more security holes, and is nearly impossible to validate” (r/singularity)
- OrkWithNoTeef: It would take at least two singularities for AI to understand C++ variadic template metaprogramming compiler errors
- jferments: Code that people write using AI tools is not “impossible to validate”. You validate it exactly the same way you validate code written by humans who aren’t using AI tools.
- SgtChrome: Love Bjarne, but mentioning specific problems like that will look shortsighted when, two models down the line, AI will inevitably not make those mistakes anymore.
- AddingAUsername: As someone that (for some reason) likes C++, I can definitely say that using AI is much harder for it and much more micro-intensive. It’s much harder to vibecode etc. so I understand where he is coming from.
