Is it like self driving cars, where 100% non-human code would be arguably safer?
But then it always comes down to having some human who is accountable for verifying the behavior. I think ultimately we just need a better set of languages and frameworks to minimally encode the types of applications we want to build today, so that human comprehension and verification of the source code becomes easier.
- LetsGetTechnicl 1mo agoHow would 100% non-human code possibly be safer?
- micromacrofoot 1mo agowell if driving is supposedly safer when automated, why not code
- ModernMech 1mo agoIt’s supposedly safer than the average driver, not safer than professional drivers.
- micromacrofoot 1mo agothe average american spends 60 minutes a day driving, that's thousands of hours by the time you reach 25... at what point is that not a professional level of experience?
- LetsGetTechnicl 1mo agoIs it actually safer? If you can't understand the code you can't verify it's safety, and AI code often has bugs in it. You can't trust implicitly.
- skeledrew 1mo agoYou don't need to understand code to verify its safety if you have a good QA framework.
- micromacrofoot 1mo agoSame applies to driving cars
- dd8601fn 1mo agoThe qualities of computation that make autopilots safer than human drivers aren’t the same qualities that produce better designed software products.

- jdw64 1mo agoI've noticed that when only AI writes the code, there are cases where it ends up being unusable by humans. For small code snippets or function-level units, AI is often much better than me. But when I look at the whole picture, AI tends to perform poorly.
- roncesvalles 1mo agoCategory error. Self-driving cars are still meticulously coded by humans.
- fragmede 1mo agoThey use trained models in the system though, so I don't know if you can really claim that.
