Yeah, let LLM write C++ when your team have cannot comfortably write C++ in the first place. This is surely a frankly safter way than human-written C# and Python.

You can use this as a canary. The out-of-control factor = the number of parallel working agents : the number of human programmers. 1. If the factor > N, you're losing control and there will be no organizational wisdom passed down. 2

(I think) the case depends on what AI watermarks are. As far as I know, things like SynthID has practically zero false positives.

The problem is that there will be far more formally verified proofs than that human mathematicians around the world can read, much less explain. What then? Would the role of mathematicians just become explainers of AI generated proofs?
