If you visualize it as AI Agents throwing a rope to wrangle a problem, and then visualize a dozen of these agents throwing their ropes around a room, and at each other -- very quickly you'll also visualize the mess of code that a collections of agents creates without oversight. It might even run, some might say that's the only true point but... at what cost in code complexity, performance waste, cascading bugs, etc.

Is it possible? Yes, I've had success with having a model output a 100 step plan that tried to deconflict among multiple agents. Without re-creating 'Gas town', I could not get the agents to operate without stepping on toes. With _me_ as the grand coordinator, I was able to execute and replicate a SaaS product (at a surface level) in about 24hrs. Output was around 100k lines of code (without counting css/js).

Who can prove that it works correctly though? An AI enthusiasts will say "as long as you've got test coverage blah blah blah". Those who have worked large scale products know that tests passing is basically "bare minimum". So you smoke test it, hope you've got all the paths, and toss it up and try to collect money from people? I don't know. If _this_ is the future, this will collapse under the weight of garbage code, security and privacy breaches, and who knows what else.
