How do you know that they don't train their models or append your prompts to add backdoors, or compromise your supply chain by including evil dependencies? This seems hugely irresponsible.

That's not bullet proof. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Underhanded_C_Contest

>but you cannot even inspect the instructions those agents are working off of? It makes more sense when you realize they don't want developers to be doing any coding at all. That's what they seem to be moving towards. From product manager to product via AI.

Last stage is moving everyone to their cloud platforms, they deploy everything for you, you don't even get to see the code, just the deployed end product. Because letting you look at the code would be too dangerous, you could reverse engineer an exploit to another product! Or distill their internet-distilled model! But don't worry, at least it will be very convenient.

no, last stage is removing you completely from the equation
