> Sorry to say but AI can't figure out the borrow checker. I'd speculate it does poor on a lot of things that are sort of implicit in the code / properties of the grand structure rather than incremental text things. I don’t really use AI tools, but in the past few weeks I’ve tried it with Rust and while it had problems, borrow checking errors were never part of them. I fully agree that LLMs don’t “understand,” but people also really oversell the amount of thinking needed to satisfy borrowing in a lot of cases.
