  1. A

    Эти нейросети молодёжь совсем разбаловали. Никто сам думать не хочет: спросил у бота, скопировал, и готово.

    These neural networks have totally spoiled the youngsters. Nobody wants to think for themselves: ask the bot, copy, done.

  2. B

    Ну, не все же работают спустя рукава. Хотя время нейросеть, конечно, экономит.

    Well, not everyone does a sloppy job. Though a neural network does save time, of course.

  3. A

    Экономит, пока прод не упадёт. Вот увидишь, скоро никто без подсказки и цикл не напишет.

    It saves time until production goes down. You'll see, soon nobody will be able to write a loop without a hint.

  4. B

    Кстати, о падениях: во вчерашнем коде странная ошибка, функция считает скидку дважды. Чья это?

    Speaking of going down: there's a strange bug in yesterday's code, a function counts the discount twice. Whose is it?

  5. A

    Дай гляну... Да, функция моя. Только ошибка странная, я бы так никогда не написал.

    Let me have a look... Yes, the function is mine. But it's a strange bug, I'd never write it like that.

  6. B

    Не написал бы, говоришь? А комментарий «сгенерировано нейросетью» кто оставил?

    You'd never write it, you say? Then who left the comment "generated by a neural network"?

  7. A

    Ладно, каюсь: было поздно, и я попросил бота. Только ребятам ни слова, а то засмеют.

    All right, I confess: it was late, and I asked the bot. Just not a word to the guys, or they'll laugh me out of the room.
