Summary - Rust Project Perspectives on AI

Lol, the irony that this has been boosted by a bot immediately after I'd posted it. 🤖 😄

@janriemer
I articulate usefulness of Rust's type system in passing "mental model" from creator to reader/user-developer. And compiler precisely enforces model, expressed in types.
Switching into "use of GenAI" tools, should have the same criteria: if explicit mental model is articulated in types, human/readers can fully grasp it, and compiler produces code that works, then, why should I tell anyone what tool to use?

The reality, of course, is that despite M in LLM there is no explicit model.

@mikalai Yes, totally agree!

Rust's type system often reads like a specification.

The frustrating thing is: There is actually reliable AI out there, especially for software systems and its verification, but noone talks about it:
