Correctness Isn’t Competence

AI-generated code risks becoming a liability in production unless we demand efficiency and quality.

Correctness isn’t competence. And in the age of AI-generated code, that distinction matters more than ever.

“Models achieving high correctness scores do not necessarily produce efficient algorithms or maintainable code.” — COMPASS benchmark authors

Passing test cases isn’t enough. If an LLM gives you working code that runs in exponential time or collapses…
