> Given Curry-Howard isomorphism, couldn't we ask AI to directly prove the property of the binary executable under the assumption of the HW model, instead of running PBTs? Yes, in principle. Given unlimited time and a plentiful supply of unicorns. Otherwise, no. It is well beyond the state of the art in formal proofs for the general case, and it doesn't become possible just because we "ask AI". And unless you provide a formal specification of the entire set of behavior, it's still not much better than PBT -- the program is still free to do whatever the heck it wants that doesn't violate the properties formally specified. | ||
