Nah, the magic/promise of AI is that it has positive chance of getting there, so you can keep feeding it dollars until it eventually gets you the thing you want, and that it's still cheaper than having people do it the old-school way.
We're not there yet, but I don't see anything preventing us from getting there in ~5 years.
(Remember: 5 years ago, SOTA in this space was letting a genetic algorithm poke at an AST and hopefully maybe arrive at a trivial program solving a small algorithmic problem.)

- TeMPOraL 2y agoI wouldn't bet against it. Self-driving tech benefits directly from the outputs of sudden and continued growth of R&D in AI, fueled by hype-driven investments.
- Apocryphon 2y agoMaybe just like with self-driving cars, trying to hook mechanical precision up to messy human society is going to be fraught and lead to blowback. Meaning that once planes start falling out of the sky from vibe coding Boeing contractors there will be PR and regulatory panics that soften the hype somewhat. Or, the next time Equifax gets mass leaked and they blame their security setup on generative AI. You can’t vibe code your way out of human stupidity and the consequences of production environments.
- TeMPOraL 2y agoMaybe, but the same thing could be said about JavaScript and webshit and the world is still there. We can just continue to not use YOLO technologies and culture in safety-critical applications.
- gre 2y agoFull self driving is here. (Waymo). LIDAR is required imho.
- jryle70 2y ago5 years? I could swear that I took a ride yesterday in SF with Waymo.
