Replace AI written with “cheap dev written” and think about why that isn’t already true.

The bottleneck is a competent dev understanding a project. Always has been.

Another fundamental flaw is you can’t trust LLMs. It’s fundamentally impossible compared to the way you trust a human. Humans make mistakes. LLMs do not. Anything “wrong” they do is them working exactly as designed.

This requires a redefinition of the term mistake, no?
