the public is so used to good quality software that they are in for rude awakening :)
They'd revolt en-masse if their TV had the downtime of github, of if their computer had the number of successful supply chain attacks that npm enjoys.
The quality may not have been good, but the market had stabilised on what the public would accept. AI changes this substantially.
ask anyone that has been in the industry for awhile and they will tell you the same thing. a lot of crowd on HN write as if human-written code is any good and while there are always exception, on average, most software is shitty. if I had a dollar for every time I met someone writing software for “X” saying “dude, if you knew what I know you’d never use/do/… X” I’d be a very rich man
That's what I'm saying: users are used to a certain level of reliability. They might not be so accepting of a decline.
But, lets start with the C compiler written by an AI, guided by the comp[any that sells the AI. Do you really think that the average user is eady yet to accept that sort of degradation in quality?
That's the point - it isn't used; the quality is too poor to even replace tcc.
who is revolting? still waiting for an example of this ficticious, unfortunately often-cited fantasy… if the example is C compiler no one uses (no one even spent serious time trying to make it work either) the bar is waaaay to low for your line of thinking IMHO
