It may surprise some people here to see that Andrew is warming up to using LLMs to discover bugs (inspired by results from SQLlite) and considers it a tool on the path to getting to bug free software.

Someone in the thread below says their bug was closed because of mentioning that they use AI to confirm the bug they had encountered. Is he going to go back and reopen all of those now that he learned what pretty much everyone else already knew?
He specifically says in that presentation that they are open to LLMs helping them get to bug free, but because the language is still in flux, they would rather prioritise bugs users actually find rather than those found by LLMs, essentially with the intent of unblocking people rather than wasting time fixing things that may need to be fixed again or be wasted work come the next update.
My understanding of the situation is that the user did find a bug themselves, because it literally broke on their own code, and then they just had the LLM help them verify their theory of the bug that they already had.
