Study: programmers who use GitHub Copilot and other AI tools produce less secure code than those who do not, despite believing their code has no safety issues
At the same time, tools like Github Copilot and Facebook InCoder make developers believe their code is sound
“Computer scientists from Stanford University have found that programmers who accept help from AI tools like Github Copilot produce less secure code than those who fly solo.” Looks like there will be a market for AI vuln remediation! https://www.theregister.com/ ...
Hardly surprising that AI-assisted developers write worse code https://arxiv.org/... The AI-generated code I've seen lies in the “uncanny valley” of software—looks right but there's something subtly incorrect. Couple that with automation bias and it's a recipe for bugs.
