Just own the damn robots

All the problems in every serious piece of software I've ever worked on stem from the customer (be it external or in-house) not knowing what they want, the person in charge of capturing that doing a pretty bad job of it anyway, and the chain from there to the person writing the software taking that failure and making it worse.

AI writing software will just get me another flavour of the wrong software. AI working out what people want the software to do would be useful.

My thoughts exactly. Until the AI can hold useless meetings and design things by bureaucracy it will never be a serious threat to big businesses/government.

Maybe we can deliver that wrong software in 100ms instead of 100 days.

You don't think good old fashioned bugs are a problem?
