With how stochastic the process is it makes it basically unusable for any large scale task. What's the plan? To roll the dice until the answer pops up? That would be maybe viable if there was a way to automatically evaluate it 100% but with a human in the loop required it becomes untenable.

The plan is to improve AI agents from their current ~intern level to a level of a good engineer.

They are not intern level.

Even if it could perform at a similar level to an intern at a programming task, it lacks a great deal of the other attributes that a human brings to the table, including how they integrate into a team of other agents (human or otherwise). I won't bother listing them, as we are all humans.

I think the hype is missing the forest for the trees, and I think exactly this multi-agent dynamic might be where the trees start to fall down in front of us. That and the as currently insurmountable issues of context and coherence over long time horizons.

My impression is that Copilot acts a lot like one of my former coworkers, who struggled with:

-Being a parent to a small child and the associated sleep deprivation.

-His reluctance to read documentation.

-There being a language barrier between him the project owners. Emphasis here, as the LLM acts like someone who speaks through a particularly good translation service, but otherwise doesn't understand the language spoken.
