This seems like a very bad idea. I think we just need more lisp and less AI.
Good point.
This is the point that the "AI will do it all" crowd is missing. Current AI doesn't innovate. Full stop. It copies.
The need for new code written by folks who understand what they're writing isn't gone, and won't go away.
Whether those folks can be AI is an open question.
Whether we can ever create an AI that can actually innovate is an interesting open question, with little meaningful evidence in either direction, today.
"Hey AI - Create a struct that matches this JSON document that I get from a REST service"
Bam, it's done.
Or
"Hey AI - add a schema prefixed on all of the tables and insert statements in the SQL script.
People have such a hate boner for AI here that they are downvoting actual good use of it...
