    I sure there's someone out there who's already reviewing their AI-generated code changes by feeding those changes into another AI.

    And all that I hear running through my head is "GIGO, it's GIGO all the way down."

    The AIs are only as good as the data they were trained on, and from some of what I've seen / read, that data isn't all that impressive.  I've used the AIs we have access to here and within certain limited situations, they're OK, but they don't really help me speed up my work.  We don't (yet) have any of the more developer-focused AIs, so I've not tried to get any code-type improvements out of them (when I have tried, it's been...  ugly...)

    There's a part of me that would be interested in seeing what happens if you took a couple AIs, gave one the requirements for an application, one requirements to test the code, and one to actually use the app and request changes, and see how long before it implodes.  Or, maybe, you'd end up with a usable app at the end.  Maybe.
