Because it's not the panacea the a.i. folks claim it to be?

This might be another problem waiting for a better model like most of the rest of the AI use cases today

AI gives you what you ask for. If you don't understand your true problems, and you ask it to solve the wrong problems, it doesn't matter how much compute you burn, you're still gonna fail.

AI does a terrible job huh? I wish there was a way we have done this for decades without that problem...

I'm trying to get insights into the kind of problems AI copilots are still unable to solve.

skinner927 Sep 8, 2025 View on HN

That is generally a problem with all AI right now.

PittleyDunkin Dec 21, 2024 View on HN

I don't think the problem there is the AI aspect

Jtsummers Aug 14, 2017 View on HN

Because not every problem can be solved by AI.

Then you are using the wrong AI tools or using them poorly

AI isn't quite there yet. I already tried. There is some derived knowledge where this project would benefit greatly from having a human top dev.
