> I don’t really know why AI can't build software (for now) Could be because programming involves: 1. Long chains of logical reasoning, and 2. Applying abstract principles in practice (in this case, "best practices" of software engineering). I think LLMs are currently bad at both of these things. They may well be among the things LLMs are worst at atm. Also, there should be a big asterisk next to "can write code". LLMs do often produce correct code of some size and of certain kinds, but they can also fail at that too frequently.
