So called "Democratization" also means every baby can create dangerous code without understanding what he unleashed.

Yes, this largely depends on how they use it. I think, everybody uses AI differently. When it comes to computer programming, I use AI to learn new things. For example, I ask questions like "How do I get the length of a string in Lua?" or "How do I open a file in binary mode in Python?" and Google AI gives an answer. It's the first thing that appears above the search results. Often I don't even click anywhere; I just read what was written by AI. I've found that sometimes AI quotes someone else word for word. For example, I click on the first result, and it takes me to a thread on Stack Overflow or somewhere where someone asks the same question and the answer that AI prints on the first page of the search result is the same that someone else wrote. So, AI is almost like a personal assistant that does research for me. I like it. As long as you ask very specific questions to which the answer can be found all over the web, there is no problem.

Sometimes AI tries to improvise. For example, I asked for a regex search and replace code in Lua, and it wrote something that didn't work. It was supposed to replace a substring within a string, and instead of replacing just that substring, the code written by AI replaced everything all the way up to the substring and the substring itself as well. So, that's not what I asked it to do, but whatever... I read up on it, and I understand now that Lua's version of regex is like a lame old man compared to Perl's. It's seriously disabled. Anyway, the point is that even AI couldn't figure out how to write a regex code for Lua that would work. So, when it comes to complicated tasks, you have to test it and double check everything to make sure it did exactly what you asked for, otherwise it's prone to make mistakes. But generally, I've found that AI makes life easier. Just don't ask complicated questions! Lol
