AI can produce plausible code faster than you can read it.

But "plausible" isn't the same as "correct."

@Discourse Speaking of AI... Can y'all code in a user-accessible AI killswitch please? One community I'm part of uses your hosted forum software with the AI plugin enabled - but I want absolutely nothing to do with any of the slop machines and neither need nor want them for interpersonal communication. There doesn't seem to be any way for users to turn these features off if the Admin has installed the plugin - there's zero AI options anywhere in user prefs.
