AI tools like GitHub Copilot and ChatGPT are great at writing code fast. But before you rely on them, it’s important to understand the risks.
At SOLVD, we help teams use AI wisely—so they save time without making mistakes that cost more later.
Here are five things to watch out for when using AI to write code.
AI doesn’t always write perfect code. Sometimes the code works, but it’s messy, slow, or full of hidden bugs. That means problems can show up later.
“AI-generated code can be inconsistent… and may cause issues that only show up later.” – Miles Blake, SOLVD Consultant
To stay safe, always have a developer check the code before using it.
If people use AI too much, they might stop solving problems on their own. That’s a problem when something goes wrong—and AI can’t help.
“Heavy dependence on AI tools may reduce hands-on coding skills.” – Miles Blake, SOLVD Consultant
AI should be used as a tool, not a replacement for real skills.
AI doesn’t always follow your company’s safety rules. It might write code that leaves doors open for hackers or breaks compliance.
“These tools don’t often align with specific security best practices.” – Miles Blake, SOLVD Consultant
That’s why someone still needs to review AI code for safety.
AI doesn’t understand your customers or how your system works. So it might write code that doesn’t fit what you actually need.
“There’s a real risk of misalignment between the generated solution and the intended software architecture.” – Miles Blake, SOLVD Consultant
Humans still need to check that the code solves the right problem.
If AI writes code, who owns it? That’s still being figured out. There’s also the risk that it copied someone else’s work.
“AI isn’t transparent or accountable for mistakes—and legal issues are still being figured out.” – Miles Blake, SOLVD Consultant
Until the rules are clear, be careful with how you use AI code.
AI can be a helpful assistant. But it’s not perfect—and it shouldn’t replace your team’s thinking. The best approach? Let AI help, then review everything before it goes live.
“AI should support human experts—not replace them.” – Miles Blake, SOLVD Consultant
We help SaaS teams use AI the smart way—saving time, protecting quality, and avoiding costly mistakes.

From my initial call with Spencer through project implementation with John and Evan, my experience with the SOLVD team was excellent. They were quick to understand our business needs, clear when explaining the reasoning behind proposed solutions, transparent when reporting on progress and timeline, and all around enjoyable to work with. Would highly recommend and looking forward to continue working with them in the future!
SOLVD was very straight forward with everything needed to complete the project. No surprises, no issues, and cost was aligned with the estimate. They made implementation easy and quick.
As a rule, I'm pretty stingy with my recommendations. So it's a pleasure for me to recommend Solvd as a top-flight Salesforce consultancy. Solvd recently led our company's conversion to the Lightning interface and did it on time, on budget and made it easy for me and my team. I know I'll use their services again, and am confident they can do the same for you.
