I'm a undergrad studying CompE at a US University. I just got done with a group project, and I can confidently say that my opinion of AI generated code has changed a lot since I started. 3 of our 5 members had zero idea what their code did, they just had ChatGPT generate whatever they needed. The amount of bugs they introduced with each pull request was insane - this is definitely going to be a much bigger issue going forward as more IDE's start implementing LLM's in their UI.
I'm not going to act like I don't use ChatGPT, but I use it to understand things I don't know - like documenting code, helping fix bugs, etc. Never to just write code blindly, I'm just thankful I don't need to maintain the project once I'm done.
The only way I can see this being fixed moving forward is either a breakthrough in coding focused LLM's, or just banning AI generated code entierly (which I'm not even sure how to do).
