I do think as more coders rely on AI they will see their coding style change towards that of the AI. I do wonder how standardized AI coding style will be, especially with all the different competing models in play. Who knows, maybe they'll all get together a Davos and have a conference about it someday. Newsome will attend, and get shafted just like in the recent one over finance, but I digress...
AI needs to get really good someday or what we'll get is some grunt work pushed out that is buggy and we'll find ourselves spending just as much time acquainting ourselves with the AI style of coding before we can fix it. Now on the positive side, AI seems to be good at adding comments, so that should help, especially if the user can request those comments be more explicit to understand the code. I think AI will also do a very good job with naming variables, which I admittedly struggle with. b$ = Inkey$ WTF?
