Are we not going to talk about how we need to solve the causality problem to make these kinds of tools useful? A next token generator is a useful thing indeed, and will be necessary for an AI to actually write software, but without “understanding” causality these tools will continue to produce mediocre, at best, results.
Most projects are mediocre at the start. I don’t think the purpose (for the millionth time) is to replace the developers or the full software delivery process with generative AI agents. The point is to spend less cognitive effort rebuilding the same basic foundation every single time.
I’d rather spend time on the actual hard problems of the project.
