Just in case it was unclear, I extensively use AI and agentic coding with current models on a daily basis. The only thing I haven't tried in a few months is specifically one-shotting a greenfield project. I know computer-use agents exist, and theoretically have tooling and permission to do all the things a human sitting in front of a computer can. I just haven't heard of anyone successfully claiming to have had one do exactly what I described for a non-toy project in one shot with zero mistakes, or of any tool like Replit claiming to support such a capability. I'd be very interested to know if my impression is out of date. As in, if I could send a single message to some AI service and say "Here's my credit card, banking info, and entity info/EIN; build me a production-ready Google Drive clone with religious branding and 10x higher pricing called God Drive with native Android/iOS/Linux/macOS/Windows apps, then deploy it to production on an optimal cloud architecture capable of scaling to a billion users at whatever domain name you like best and release the apps to all major app stores/repositories", then go to bed with high confidence that I'd be able to start creating God Drive docs/spreadsheets/presentations for work the following morning. If that isn't the case, it isn't a criticism of the technology. The fact that we're even seriously discussing the scenario is incredible. | ||||||||

Well... they're not oracles and never will be. The things I'm creating are following recognizable development practices. It's not build-once and done, it's an elaborate design/build/test cycle that happens in many flavors because unless you've already done something and are copying it, that's how you create and language models aren't going to get away from that. | ||||||||
