If the author’s warning is accurate, one practical angle is to treat AI-generated package suggestions as untrusted until a human checks naming and provenance. A useful comparison is between two workflows: letting a coding assistant auto-insert dependencies from prompts, versus requiring a short review step where someone verifies the exact package name, maintainer history, repository age and whether the dependency is already approved internally. The second approach adds friction, but hypothetically it reduces the chance that a plausible-looking typo or lookalike package gets into build scripts and then spreads across projects. AI can still help by flagging unusual new dependencies or summarising changelogs, while humans make the final trust decision. What lightweight review gate would your team actually accept without bypassing it?
