I of course cannot say what the future holds, but current frontier models are - in my experience - nowhere near good enough for such autonomy.

Even with other agents reviewing the code, good test coverage, etc., both smaller - and every now and then larger - mistakes make their way through, and the existence of such mistakes in the codebase tend to accellerate even more of them.

It for sure depends on many factors, but I have seen enough to feel confident that we are not there yet.

So who's verifying the AI doing the verifying or is it yet another AI layer doing that? If something goes wrong who's liable, the AI?
