Question

You ask an AI to add explanatory comments to a confusing piece of Bash that nobody on the team understands. It returns this. The comments are confident and readable — but does each one match what the code actually does?

bash

1# Loop over all .log files in the current directory2for f in *.log; do3  # Skip files larger than 10MB4  if [ $(stat -f%z "$f") -gt 10000000 ]; then5    # Compress the file in place6    gzip "$f"7  fi8done

What a strong answer looks like

Treat the AI’s output as a draft to verify, not an answer to trust. Name the specific flaw and the input that triggers it, say how you’d catch it — tests, edge cases, reading critically — and how you’d re-prompt or decompose to get it right.
