Why AI vibecoding fails (for now)
Index note code as embryo folding; conceptual tree view
AI agents are now capable of writing one shot AI code (ofc, that still takes many iterations), but that doesn’t work, or does not have the entropy information required (based also on which model, and which prompt, it has a very specific output, given random seed).
So when someone trains the networks, the output is all defined, and user just looks at certain output, and may reiterate on the output to traverse to the desired goal solution (from solution space).
An ideal programmer codes from higher level starting, makes critical decisions early on, much like an embryo undergoing its first fold. That determines the very critical part of how the organism is going to be later, much like the code. Code is program software space, but physical part of organism is also an program that results to that space if universe was the compiler. Well, so for AI to take decisions in one or few shot, it must start from basic structure, and then ask every iteration, is the output going correctly, user submits feedback. This way major changes which AI has to do later are not drastic that they might cause a code failure. Motivation for this kind of idea comes from brain structure : see HiP-CT scan video of brain https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9yL6D7TtN9w or biology, where its all trees and branches but structure is connected forms where a tree does not have a root, but a combination of multiple random trees from nodal point (but nodal point is also chosen anywhere) so its a way to look at any graph, at first that trees are isolated , but they may also have interconnections later on. .. digressing. So AI must be able to see the entire code base in a conceptual tree structure that represents the functional simplicity of it, without complicating viewpoint, and which would allow AI to structurally work on entire codebase keeping track of all components.
And as with any organism, AI + Compiler+ Hardware is the creator of the code working system. Wonder if humans are hardcoded, with all their actions, they have certain freedom depending on brain learning, but not all freedom, as these are the things that also govern autonomous beating of heart, and breathing.
