Thanks for zeroing in on a tricky idea that I could use help articulating and arguing for. I certainly agree that requirements that impose additional constrains make it safer to use automatic code generators, and the broader economic context does not need to change to make that statement true.
I think it is a fascinating question for study whether increasing uptake of AI will reduce the tendency of the world to become “increasingly convoluted, non-linear, surprising” in your words—partly because those qualities make it harder to apply AI effectively. Are you personally betting on convolution and surprise increasing? I don’t mean that humans will be surprised; it’s likely we’ll find a world of increased use of AI mind-bending. But will the AIs find that surprise is high and increasing?
