How about you just tell AI to build you a new site? Presumably your prompt will be better now, and AI will be a newer one, so chances are you'll get a site without that particular bug. This approach to debugging would be quite a new paradigm, and even a bit more adapted to consumer society for better or for worse.
- dns_snek 2y agoMaybe you'll get a site without that particular bug, but you're almost guaranteed to get a site where the unspecified semantics are slightly different compared to the previous version, along with new exciting bugs, and at some point you're likely going to get to data corruption issues because some invariant of the system won't be preserved properly. You'll run into memory leaks and race conditions that you won't be able to resolve. At some point your AI will likely generate new exciting vulnerabilities, leak all customer data and get you buried in lawsuits too. All of these issues are nearly impossible to spot and correct unless you're an expert yourself, but then you wouldn't need AI in the first place. That said, I fully expect such an industry to take off and we'll all be worse off for it. Lowering the barrier to entry is empowering for those who couldn't develop software before, which is good, but if it enters mainstream usage then we're all going to suffer even worse products and services.
- soco 2y agoI won't disagree with you so just let me add that also today we get buggy software and enshittification all over the place. All what AI has to do is deliver those cheaper.
