I mean, if this is true and it works it is not too far fetched. You'd mostly be checking that tests still make sense and that they pass. > Microsoft scientists have worked on a tool that automatically converts some C code to Rust.

The expensive autocomplete can't do this. AI markering all wants us to believe that spoon technology is *this* close to space flight. We just need to engrave the spoons better. And gold plate them thicker. Dude who wrote that doesn't understand how LLMs work, how Rust works, how C works, and clearly jack shit about programming in general. Rewriting from one paradigm to another isn't something you can delegate to a million monkeys shitting into typewriters. The core and time-consuming part of the work itself requires skilled architectural coding.

But when they don't pass, then you have to dissect a bunch of AI pasta, right?

> You'd mostly be checking that tests still make sense and that they pass. Nah, my experience is most of your time is finding out what parameter or function call they made up because its mathematically a good answer.
