> I can't find a single open source codebase, actively used in production, and primarily maintained and developed with AI.

As I stated, you haven't been paying attention.

A better-faith response would be to point out an example of such an open source codebase OR tell why that specific set of restrictions (open-source, active production, primarily AI) is unrealistic.

For instance, one might point out that the tools for really GOOD AI code authoring have only been available for about 6 months so it is unreasonable to expect that a new project built primarily using such tools has already reached the level of maturity to be relied on in production.

I don’t find it fair that you point out straw man in your parent comment and then use ad hominem in this comment. I would love to see you post some examples. I think you’d have a chance of persuading several readers to at least be more open minded.

At least we know you are human, since you are gaslighting us instead of citing a random link, that leads to a 404 page. An LLM would have confidently hallucinated a broken reference by now.

  • Not necessarily, one aspect of the LLM arms race is to have the most up-to-date records or to use a search engine to find stuff.

    • If the LLM thinks to consult a search engine. If the next token predicted is the start of a link rather than the start of a tool call, it's going to be spitting out a link. Getting them to reliably use tools rather than freeball seems to be quite a difficult problem to solve.
