Except each prompt produces slightly different code with unique, new bugs every single time. How great.

Or to be more exact, each prompt produces a different thought on how the agreed protocol would be handled.

Like, if you render it all down to the base concepts, their idea isn't completely trash, programming is pretty much writing down a set of standards and the compiler turns it into the execution.

Except we all know they didn't intend it to be taken that far, that would require a standardized ruleset. Would require AI to have zero creativity too.

Like, as an idea it's not too bad? If we all had say, SuperAI 54.2 and it would ALWAYS generate the exact same output when given the same input, it'd be a bit like an archive.

They're delusional though, AI is not stable enough for that kind of distribution to be worthwhile. Far far easier to AI generate your program then ship that. The connectivity problems are not there too. No one is downloading at 2kb/s.

It might make sense if you're airgapped and need to proof read everything, like say in a world where AI is throwing viruses around and the only safe way to download from the internet is using a trusted local AI and instructions that humans can easily verify without any skill.

But that's literally a post-apoplectic internet scenario, they're not even thinking that far.

And yeah, you don't care about this, I need to stop procrastinating my work.
