The Importance of Understanding and Documenting Code Intentions
This chapter emphasizes the significance of understanding and documenting the intentions behind code, highlighting that AI tools can explain what code does but cannot convey the original intent of the programmer. It discusses the potential dangers of relying too heavily on AI for explanations, the limitations of AI in describing interactions between multiple bits of computation, and the tendency for people to trust AI outputs more than their own understanding. The chapter also touches on the fallibility of systems, the use of AI in prototyping, and the importance of using specific terminology for AI technologies.
