I have been using AI coding for a while now and the issues I keep having is the following:

- LLM keeps forgetting/omitting parts of the code

- LLM keeps changing unrelated parts of the code

- LLM does not output correctly typed code (with Rust this can feel like throwing mud at a wall and see what sticks, in the end you're faster on your own)

- LLM flip-flops back and forth between two equally wrong answers when asked about a particularly (from the perspective of the LLM) to answer problem

In the end the main thing any AI coding tool will have to solve, is how to get the human in front of the LLM to trust that the output does what it does without breaking other things.

But of course LLMs are already crazy good at whst they do. I just wonder how people who have no idea what they are doing will be able to handle that power.



I've had colleagues like that since the 1990's :-) :-( But yes, we would like AIs to be better than Kevin..
