I think it's time to learn to stop publishing clearly fully AI generated "projects." Anyone can pull up CC and type "model the human body in Rust," or whatever.

That was my first impression too, but not my conclusion. A project of this scale would take years if not for AI assistance, and OP is absolutely not trying to pass this off as a medical tool developed by professionals, but as a fun learning tool and interesting application of type systems and agents to solve a problem.

  nomilk gets it. This is 100% a hack and fun learning tool. It is an experiment to see if modeling biological processes with rust (leveraging specifically its strong type system) and to see what agents can do. In fact the agent is listening to this thread and taking feed back and changing the repo.

    I appreciate this I really do. But how will you see if modelling biological processes with rust actually benefits from a strong type system? What have you learned from this? Vs what have you read from the promises of the chatbot? I don't mean to be dismissive but I think the real goal is "make something cool with an AI agent" and that's fine. But be honest

This is hackernews, this is the place for people to hack stuff, and share.

  Yes this is 100% a hack.

maybe putting - Ai as a tag might help? but this is 100% a hack and experiment for fun. Test out what agents can do and can we model bio with rust.

The old "Look what I built" thread has really bifurcated into "here's what I painstakingly crafted and maybe some lessons learned" and "look what I asked AI to make and it worked". The latter feels a bit less hacker. Akin to saying "I got someone on fiver to mod this game look how cool it is". Sure, ideas are something, but as AI gets better this is less hacker and more just "Tool worked".

  Ai will replace more of what we are doing, but I had fun with this so I thought I would share

    The AI bubble will pop, nobody will be able to afford AI code completion without VC money subsidizing companies like Anthropic, and it will all go the way of UML tools: A thing one old guy the company in short sleeved, plaid shirts, cargo khakis, and a George Lucas haircut keeps insisting is the future 20 years later.

      I think this is an outdated view. People are already running local models for code completion, and it will not be much longer until you can run code agents locally as well.

    More about the framing - if you posted ai imagery in a "cool imagery" sub, you'd probably be fine. If you posted it in a painting sub, that's probably no bueno. I came to HN for "cool software" and "software as a craft/art", but they are being muddled here with a blanket ShowHN type demo.
