@MickeyShaughnes Unfortunately, LLMs, which almost everyone has pushed, are the wrong direction, as is becoming increasingly apparent, and my efforts at pushing at other directions have been shouted down by people with cash but poor scientific judgement.

So here we are.

I take this for granted, too, @paulg:

Someday AI will write most code.

Someday AI drive most cars.

Someday AI will replace most radiologists.

But Someday isn’t Now and isn’t Soon.

Consistently pretending that reliable general-purpose AI isn’t fiendishly hard and well beyond…
