> Yes, you just need to tell it to do that.

Indeed. All you have to do is say “and make it good”, and it will make it good.

No, you need to tell it the architecture you want. Does anyone really believe you can just say "build the thing" and LLMs will somehow defeat Kolmogorov complexity or that they can read minds? What exactly are you trying to say? They are no good because they aren't magic?

They don't follow basic design principles. If i have to tell the ai every detail of basic design then... Well... I do not consider that very intelligent for a software dev.

I do use AI extensively and get it to spit out vaguely acceptable designs. But I'm doing the design. Even when i have another agent trying to simplify or such the design details are still me.

I don't think people understand how this runs in contrast to the claims of intelligence.
