I fail to see why worrying about AI code quality is any different to worrying about developer code quality when it comes to pre packaged apps.
With code I am writing, some AI generated, my work load has not really decreased, nor have I gotten lazy. My work has changed to a degree, and now involves reviewing and guiding and double checking AI code where I did not have to before, but I am certainly still working just as hard, and accomplishing more with AI's help in spite of the change in workload it brings.
delivering bad AI code because you got lazy is not the AI fault, it's the developers fault.
Separate from building your own code, ,of course you may have your own standards to apply.
But for apps, well, I never had a chance to see how good or bad the code was before AI was about, so why should I care now, so long as what I paid for does what it says it does (and nothing nefarious..)
It setup and created a link fetcher/screenshot service. Exactly like the one described in the huggingface attack reports used to generate output into screenshots that agents then OCR'd back out. Its splashscreen described it as something for developers and AI agents to use.
Gotta be a coincidence, right? ... rite?
To be honest I struggle to do this with engineers as is, even without AI being a factor. Everyone likes to claim that their way is the right way to do things and fights for it, instead of stepping back and looking at all the options and gracefully acknowledging were things could be done differently for better results.
