Maybe the solution is to keep sending the code through various AI requests, until it either gets polished up, or gains sentience, and destroys the world. 50-50 chance.
This stuff ALWAYS ends up destroying the world on TV.
Seriously, everybody is complaining about the quality of AI product, but the whole point is for this stuff to keep learning and improving. At this stage, we’re expecting a kindergartener to product the work of a Harvard professor. Obviously, were going to be disappointed.
But give that kindergartener time to learn and get better, and they’ll end up a Harvard professor, too. AI may just need time to grow up.
And frankly, that’s my biggest worry. If it can eventually start producing results that are equal or better than most humans, then the Sociopathic Oligarchs won’t need worker humans around, wasting money that could be in their bank accounts.
And we know what their solution to that problem will be.

Doesn’t work. Any semi complex problem with multiple constraints and your team of AIs keeps running circles. Very frustrating if you know it can be done. But what if you’re a “fractional CTO” and you get actually contradictory constraints? We haven’t gotten yet to AIs who will tell you that what you ask is impossible.

Yeah right now you have to know what’s possible and nudge the ai in the right direction to use the correct approach according to you if you want it to do things in an optimized way

Depending on your team of human developers (and managers), they will do the same thing. Granted, most LLMs have a rather extreme sycophancy problem, but humans often do the same.
If it’s a problem like under or over-constrained geometry or equations, they (the better ones) will tell you. For difficult programing tasks I have definitely had the AIs bark up all the wrong trees trying to fix something until I gave them specific direction for where to look for a fix (very much like my experiences with some human developers over the years.)
I had a specific task that I was developing in one model, and it was a hard problem but I was making progress and could see the solution was near, then I switched to a different model which did come back and tell me “this is impossible, you’re doing it wrong, you must give up this approach” up until I showed it the results I had achieved to-date with the other model, then that same model which told me it was impossible helped me finish the job completely and correctly. A lot like people.
