Ask HN: Are you emotionally attached to AI code?

3•CurleighBraces•58m ago
One thing I expected from the AI era was a decrease in emotional attachment to code reviews.

My assumption was that AI-generated code would make reviews easier because criticism of the code wouldn't feel like criticism of the author.

Instead, I've repeatedly seen people strongly defend AI generated code, and sometimes even defend AI explanations that are demonstrably incorrect.

Is anyone else seeing this?

If so, what do you think is driving it? How are you handling it within your team?

Also, has anyone found effective ways to reduce the influence of "leading question" prompts?

I very much want to keep human in the loop style paradigm within our teams, but at the same time I do wonder if my life would get a whole lot easier if instead we jumped on the "loop/factory/vibe" train.

Emotionally attached … no, but damm I would not want to write code by hand again. I stand behind principles and years of development, so if enough time spent with ai on a task I would be happy to defend its quality, as I believe newcomers/juniors will try as well so I guess expected?
CurleighBraces•38m ago
This reply makes me think that my original post also comes across as overly dismissive of reasonable debate around code changes.

As you've stated, years of development has made me expect a certain level of discourse as people will inevitably want to defend the quality if they think it's reasonable.

Maybe my post is a form of AI psychosis in itself....
