If we have smart AIs to write code, find bugs, and write tests - doesn’t that mean we can ditch the “safe” languages and go back to C?

Thats mostly a joke. But AI-hardened-C seems like it could be much better than current-human-only-C.



Why would AI be competent at finding bugs? Most non-trivial bugs I find are about unexpected interactions between distinct pieces of code. Seems totally unfeasible for a llm to be good at.


It’s not any more of a joke than the hee-haw nonsense that using an LLM to translate working C code into something else will yield a result with fewer bugs.
