So, for people to quickly implement http requests, we need a mountain of AI hardware backed by legions of PhDs with endless time to vet the http requests.

That doesn't seem sustainable. It also seems like a poor cost to value ratio.

No. If it is something that has been done plenty of times before, then we would also know how to prove the correctness of it automatically. It would also lead to much better and less code, because you would be aware that it has been done before so many times.

So, for people to quickly implement http requests, we need to feed, clothe, and discipline humans for a minimum of two decades, backed by legions of teachers, doctors, and professors with endless time to service them.
