I think coding will follow the path of chess.

In the same way that many moves are too complex to be fully understood by humans, there will be entire codebases made by AI that are too complex for humans. Humans can walk through them and understand what's happening, but they will never have the level of comprehension required to suggest improvements to them.

I can already see that today with some generated code where the AI is clearly telling me, "I can keep all of these different states in mind while developing new features," and you just can't. It sucks to be you.

Yeah that's where we're headed.

Processing speed is not the same as intellectual capacity…

Ai should be programmed to be ‘considerate’ For example instead of taking a position of ‘sucks to be you’ in the interactions and communication with you. It should be able to say ‘let me show you all I know’ to recalibrate the AI mindset when ahead of human intelligence. Instead of the...

Complex codebases mirror the human body, optimized by nature, not AI.

Singularity.

You are really just describing any codebase large enough. Enterprise software has had to deal with this for decades already. I think the opposite is more accurate, that AI can better explain the codebase to you and help you consider the consequences for the features you want to implement.

There are engine hacks already. The recent AI-found nginx bug needing the mod_rewrite line was actually very simple and easy to understand once you saw it, but also extremely difficult for a human to spot, because it was both arithmetically memory corrupting *and* linguistically semantic at the same...
