> If we generate so much code using AI that no one is really looking or reading the code anymore, just verifying end functionality, we can really just skip all that and go straight to assembler, no?

We could also just autogenerate the content of our websites, emails, contracts.

And we do, resulting in mountains of slop, varying from soulless to wildly incorrect.

Code is a precise way to describe intent. Using LLMs make up some of the intent results in the author not knowing what the precise functionality of the resulting code is.

The companies selling LLM services present this as magic which will magically do what the author wants it to do, without even the author themselves knowing or defining it.

In reality it is simply ignorance and lies.

Sorry we can’t wishful think good working software into existence.
