Though nobody expected it in the first place, AI is not perfect and can make mistakes (obviously 🙄) What’s your experience with this? I’d love to hear about it.

The level of incompetence that AI can mask is absolutely stunning. (And this precisely is probably why the AI hype resembles so much Hans Christian Andersens Tale “The Emperor’s new Clothes”.)
I had to explain to a senior embedded software architect that you need to use locks to access and change the same variable in multiple threads in concurrent C++ code.
Make the variable a word size relevant to the processor’s memory access width (eg 32bit), don’t use atomic locks, mark it as volatile, write a comment about how things are perfect this way and lockers are losers; then rig the struct it’s in to have a 50% chance of misaligning the 32bits (so two cycles are required to read/write to it) every time someone changes and recompiles the code >:D
(Yes I no longer work as a programmer, no I don’t know why they don’t want me)
