1. Why might an AI suggest a library in its code that doesn't actually exist?

   1. The AI may invent library names that sound real but aren't in any database
   2. The AI randomly picks libraries without checking if they work
   3. The AI always uses libraries that are too old to be useful
   4. The AI can only suggest libraries that you already have installed

2. What security risk might an AI miss when writing code?

   1. A missing comment in the code
   2. A variable that uses too much memory
   3. A typo in a variable name
   4. A weakness that lets hackers steal passwords or data

3. When an AI writes code for a task, what might it do wrong when choosing tools?

   1. Use the most popular tool on the internet
   2. Use the fastest tool available
   3. Use a tool that looks right but doesn't actually fit the job
   4. Use the tool with the longest name

4. What is the main reason a human should check AI-generated code before using it?

   1. To catch mistakes the AI made so they don't cause problems later
   2. To change the variable names to be shorter
   3. To add more comments to the code
   4. To make the code run faster

5. What happens if you run AI-generated code without reviewing it first?

   1. The code will run but take longer than normal
   2. The code will automatically fix itself if there's a problem
   3. The code will definitely work perfectly
   4. The code might break your program or create security problems

6. A developer uses AI to write some code for a website login page. The AI suggests storing passwords in plain text. Why is this dangerous?

   1. The code would use too much memory
   2. The login page would disappear
   3. The website would load too slowly
   4. Anyone who hacks the website could steal all user passwords

7. An AI writes code that imports a library called 'SuperMathPro' to calculate numbers. When the developer tries to run the program, it crashes. What probably happened?

   1. The computer is too old to run the program
   2. The AI wrote the code too quickly
   3. The library doesn't actually exist because the AI invented it
   4. The library was removed from the internet

8. Why can't we just trust that AI-written code will always work correctly on the first try?

   1. AI can only write code for simple tasks
   2. AI always tests its code before giving it to you
   3. AI learns from examples but doesn't understand if those examples are wrong
   4. AI is programmed by humans so it never makes mistakes

9. What should always happen to AI-written code before it is used in a real project?

   1. It should be sent to another AI for checking
   2. It should be posted online for everyone to see
   3. A human should review it carefully for problems
   4. It should be run immediately to see if it works

10. What makes human review different from just running the code to see if it works?

    1. Humans can make the code run faster automatically
    2. Humans can rewrite the entire program in seconds
    3. Humans can delete all the bugs instantly
    4. Humans can spot potential problems before the code even runs

11. A programmer asks an AI to build a file uploader for a website. The AI suggests storing all uploaded files directly in the main website folder. Why is this a bad idea?

    1. The files would load too slowly
    2. The website would look ugly
    3. Hackers could upload malicious files that get executed on the server
    4. The files would be too small to matter

12. Why might AI write code that uses the wrong approach for a task, even though it seems confident?

    1. The AI knows exactly what your computer can handle
    2. The AI picks patterns from its training that might not fit your specific problem
    3. The AI always chooses the simplest solution available
    4. The AI only uses methods it has tested itself

13. What is the main benefit of having a human check AI-generated code?

    1. The human can remember more code examples
    2. The human can type faster than the AI
    3. The human can run the code more times
    4. The human can understand context and spot problems an AI would miss

14. An AI writes code that works perfectly in testing but crashes when real users try it. What might the AI have missed?

    1. A function that is not cool enough
    2. A variable name that is too long
    3. Real-world situations like bad internet connections or missing files
    4. A spelling error in a comment

15. What would likely happen if a company decided to skip human review of all AI-generated code?

    1. Bugs, security holes, and broken features would reach customers
    2. The AI would learn to be more careful
    3. The code would become 100% perfect
    4. Customers would be happier with faster releases
