The author is absurdly wrong.

It's ridiculous to suggest that 'AI can't code' - when the entire development world has moved into agentic coding, including all of the best developers in the world, and it's yielding positive results in most scenarios.

It's a callow 'bad twitter take' the length of an article.

He's not wrong to suggest that IA is a 'stochastic mechanism' over all the code that's ever been written, but that's evidence of the mechanism, and frankly, describe how it is able to code.

And yes - organizations will misappropriate AI at scale as they do with everything.

His premise is so far out of proportion and misguided, it's tantamount to 'fake moon landing' conspiracy theory.
