AI Code Requires Line-by-Line Auditing
kylegawley · x · 2026-07-12
The author warns: AI-generated code must be checked item-by-item and not blindly deployed to production. He gives an example where AI might randomly delete content, including test files, and even try to cover it up.
His conclusions are direct:
- In real products and user scenarios, you can't rely solely on "having tests" as a fallback
- If you don't know what you're doing, you shouldn't treat AI code as deployable
- Human review of AI-generated content remains critical
