This article doesn't actually offer 10 simple rules - that's a different document - but it does lay out four themes based on the ten rules (and some personal experience). The themes are reasonable - you still need to know what you are doing, you need to know how to work with coding assistants for things like context management, you need to work within a testing framework, and you need to ensure the code is valid - that it actually does what the AI says it does. The article made me wonder: how would the same rules apply for using AI to write articles (assuming we need more articles in the world, a proposition I am beginning to doubt)?
