DeepMind claims AlphaCode is first AI code generation system that performs at a competitive level in code competitions for human developers.

The biggest problem with generative AI and coding is that it works best with patterns and as a fancier copy-and-paste. But great engineering isn’t pumping out tons of code.

A new class of supply chain attacks named 'slopsquatting' has emerged from the increased use of generative AI tools for coding and the model's tendency to "hallucinate" non-existent package names.
