Don't you think we should build infrastructure around the AI with a watcher (yes, another AI) that makes sure AIs don't deviate or drift? I.e., we can ask the dev AI to submit its test ledger as a contract, the reviewer AI to submit its own as another contract, and the watcher to monitor contract executions for deviations.

Then I see what you might say: Who monitors the watcher? -:(

Exactly. We can sure try, but I would bet against it working well. It might work a little, maybe it would be worth it, but the underlying assumption is that AI can have good judgement and so far that is mostly an illusion and it's closer to random. Sometimes it makes good decisions, sometimes not, and that is a huge problem that keeps it from being good agentic systems. They still need the harness and all this other traditional code around it to get it to work.

Totally agree, they need a strong harness to make them work
