## AI overview

The article argues that coding assistants can accelerate development but may generate incorrect or inefficient code. Because beginners may accept flawed suggestions, it explains why experienced developers should evaluate assistant output and introduces the deep learning process behind these tools.

## Source excerpt

Coding assistant tools are popping up everywhere nowadays (Copilot, JB Assistant, ChatGPT, etc.). They ensure fast and easy coding for developers and also provide a variety of ways to solve the same problem. Normally, the developer can choose preprocessed snippets for a line or lines of their code, along with some suggestions for autocomplete.
