A while back, there was some discourse on Cardano Twitter about how AI could replace the highly skilled node developers working on Cardano core or alternate nodes. While AI has been hugely transformative and accelerative, it simply isn’t at a place where it can produce a these engineers. Without expert guidance (and even with it), software produced by AI only asymptotically approaches the quality or confidence needed from a blockchain node implementation. Without expert guidance to evaluate, steer, and tease apart the requirements of such a node, an AI is doomed to fail.
