Look, AI will be perfect as soon as we have an algorithm to sort "truth" from "falsehood", like an oracle of some sort. They'll probably have that in GPT-5, right?
It's alright! There's a multibillion dollar advertising operation working to convince us that generative AI can do these sorts of things. Plus, it's always tough to go through someone else's work, much less mods from a decade ago that were written by ambitious amateurs. I couldn't read my own code after a couple of months if I wasn't such an absurd over-commenter.
If you want a chill intro to the real situation, I highly recommend this episode of On the Media that had Ed Zitron on. You could knock it out over a commute or two no problem: https://www.wnycstudios.org/podcasts/otm/articles/brooke-talks-ai-with-ed-zitron
A funnier and angrier thing that explains why this won't work can be found here: https://ludic.mataroa.blog/blog/i-will-fucking-piledrive-you-if-you-mention-ai-again/

Klarna: What if we financialized buying burritos using AI?
Our subjects here at awful systems can make us angry. They can spend lots of money to make everything worse. They can even make us dead if things go really off the rails, but one thing they can never do is make us take them seriously.
I think that what we've got here is a genuine victim of the hype.
Absolutely!
The thing about sov cits is that they use legalish words like a magical incantation. The words have no meaning to them, really. It's a tarted-up glossolalia which reifies their wishes to manifest some outcome in court.
If a lawyer surrenders their craft to a bullshit engine, they're doing the exact same thing: spouting law-shaped nonsense in the hope of getting the verdict they want, their only differentiator being that they showed up wearing a much nicer suit than the sov cit.

The main objection being along the lines of, "Milton Friedman's "I am not a racist" tshirt is raising many questions that are answered by his tshirt."

I'm sorry but if you're paying $200k for a smart contract engineer you're ngmi
"no, the smart contract needs to be perfect and audited" bro hit $100k in daily volume then worry about it being perfect
