<h2>Bullshit police</h2>
<ul>
<li><strong>AI-generated code: functional but fundamentally flawed</strong>: Apparently, AI coding agents are great at churning out code quickly, but who cares about quality, right? According to some experiment, these agents produce ‘spaghetti’ code with subtle semantic errors and ignore conventions, leading to technical debt. So, while they might meet functional requirements, you’ll still need a human to clean up the mess, because apparently, ‘vibe coding’ isn’t a substitute for actual engineering. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/feed-by-ids?id=uilUGnhp4&amp;id=fPZ532s1X&amp;id=gcgtwbk5H" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>ChatGPT’s new favorite encyclopedia: AI-generated nonsense</strong>: ChatGPT’s GPT-5.2 model is now citing Grokipedia, an AI-generated encyclopedia by Elon Musk, as a source. The Guardian found multiple instances of this, raising concerns about amplifying bias and misinformation. OpenAI claims its models filter out low-credibility sources, but apparently, an AI-generated encyclopedia passes the sniff test. What could possibly go wrong when AIs start citing each other’s hallucinations? <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/fWRmbZwbT" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>AI agents: the new productivity illusion</strong>: Andrej Karpathy, an AI researcher, claims he’s shifted to 80% AI agent-assisted coding, calling it ‘net positive’ despite agents making incorrect assumptions and over-complicating solutions. He even worries about ‘skill atrophy.’ So, AI makes coding ‘more enjoyable’ by automating the ‘drudgery,’ but also makes you dumber and creates more complex problems. Sounds like a real win-win for everyone involved. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/vRs04mdPH" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
