Stop copy-pasting AI code: The 6-step validation checklist for devs.

It is impossible to be 100% certain that a tool or code generated by an LLM (like ChatGPT, Claude, etc.) is bug-free. LLMs are text predictors: they generate code that looks correct, but they do not "compile" or execute the code internally. Consequently, they can invent functions that do not exist (hallucinations) or make subtle logic errors. However, you can achieve a very high level of confidence by following a rigorous validation method. Here are the essential steps: Code Review (Never ju...
