Believe it or not, but despite the spectacular failure I actually think that talking to an AI agent on the terminal and asking it to modify your code is a sound approach that will get developed into a popular product.

GitHub Copilot can already modify the code the way I want it to (boilerplate generation). Finding the right places to modify (given a human-provided description) sounds like something that LLMs should be able to do pretty well. String these two together and you have a functioning pipeline automating some of the tedious parts of software development.

AI bros, this is what we actually need, not your ChatGPT wrappers adding authentic-looking mustache to images of testicles.
