AI-powered, cloned software often has bugs that the person using the AI doesn’t understand or know how to fix, and people are doing it anyway, using the software anyway, and unleashing it on the world and on these communities at a speed with which it cannot be vetted or moderated.

I’ve been wanting to ask if you have any commentary on this notion of a flood of “cheap” code (cheap as in low-effort, not maintained) that will overwhelm systems of quality control. For me it’s the most materialist critique of AI proliferation that I’ve seen so far, how would moderation or QA work without banning it wholesale?

As a sidenote, the debate about usage of AI kinda reminds me of usage of plastics:

• “Cheap code” <=> Single-use plastics
• “AI slop everywhere”, brain atrophy <=> Microplastics, its unclear health risks
• “Ethical AI”, increasing efficiency <=> Biodegradable/recycled plastic
