In some ways I'm sympathetic to this: after all I'm trying to make money by being that person who does know stuff. But honestly that capability never seemed to be terribly valued by the people with the money. Anyway, it would be nice to see some examples where AI tools didn't "know" about architecture or intent. My experience has been they know plenty. More than most human developers. They do tend to follow certain fashions, which can be overridden by debate, or by introducing new fashion via skill text. But that's today. Surely these tools are only going to get much better in the next 10-20 years. I'm skeptical there's going to be a line of thinking that "it's smart but doesn't know the things humans know" long term. Whatever it is that we think only humans know today will be learned by the tools tomorrow.
