The fact that “AI” hallucinates so extensively and gratuitously just means that the only way it can benefit software development is as a gaggle of coked-up juniors making a senior incapable of working on their own stuff because they’re constantly in janitorial mode.
It'll just keep better at it over time though. The current ai is way better than 5 years ago and in 5 years it'll be way better than now.
That's certainly one theory, but as we are largely out of training data there's not much new material to feed in for refinement. Using AI output to train future AI is just going to amplify the existing problems.
