I’ve been mulling over a discussion I came across recently about a new pastebin project called PasteVault. What started as someone sharing their zero-knowledge pastebin alternative quickly turned into a fascinating debate about AI-generated code, security implications, and the evolving nature of software development.

The project itself seemed promising enough - a modern take on PrivateBin with better UI, updated encryption, and Docker support. But what caught my attention wasn’t the technical specs; it was the community’s reaction when they suspected the code was largely AI-generated.
