Debate grows over AI code's impact on Rust

A discussion is circulating about how Rust fits into concerns over low-quality AI-generated code. The argument: programming languages are among the hardest software to replace once a project commits to them, so if AI tooling floods Rust codebases with poor code, the consequences could be unusually lasting. Commenters in the free and open-source software community are weighing what this means for the language's future and whether safeguards are needed.
Why now: Concerns are rising that AI-generated low-quality code could permanently damage hard-to-replace software ecosystems like Rust.
