> A major project will discover that it has merged a lot of AI-generated code

My friend works at a well-known tech company in San Francisco. He was reviewing his junior team member's pull request. When asked what a chunk of code did, the team member matter-of-factly replied "I don't know, chatgpt wrote that"

I hope that junior engineer was reprimanded or even put on a PIP instead of just having the reviewer say lgtm and approve the request.

I mean if that was an answer I got given by a junior during a code review the next email I'd be sending would be to my team lead about it.
