How capable are AI coding assistants when it comes to Solidity development? Given how extensively smart contract source code is documented and available across open-source repositories, you'd think these tools would excel at generating reliable contract code. Yet there's often a gap between what AI can produce and what actually passes security audits. The sheer volume of accessible Solidity codebases should theoretically make this one of AI's strongest domains—but real-world results suggest we're still a ways off from fully trusting automated contract generation without rigorous human review.

AI writing Solidity is still too inexperienced. Theoretically, with more data, it should work, but in reality, there are a bunch of vulnerabilities, and audits still rely on manual hard checks.

AI writing Solidity still relies on manual review; having more data doesn't help... A security audit can expose issues instantly.

AI-generated contract code security audits still can't pass, indicating that there are quite a few junk contracts in the AI training data... Oh well, we still have to review it ourselves.

The data is right there... No matter how many code repositories there are, they can't fill the gap of an audit. AI-generated contracts are like charging without establishing a supply line—seemingly grand but full of vulnerabilities. Trust it? First, survive a few liquidation cycles before talking.

Writing Solidity with AI still requires caution; bugs can be hidden very deep... Only after an audit do you realize how outrageous it is.
