If AI is that good, can someone code a good XML library with AI? The spec is available.

If AI is that good, there should be an explosion of Open Source projects of good quality.

Neither of those is happening.

I suspect somebody could. But why? Do you need a new XML library? I don't.

And if you don't need one, why write one? If there is no specific use case in mind, how do you even determine what dimension "good" is measured on?

XML is used extensively everywhere. Multibillion companies depend on libxml2 which historically had multitude of vulnerabilities, see https://ubuntu.com/security/cves?package=libxml2

Most of the Internet ifra depends on libxml2, major vendors like Juniper and Cisco use it. To my knowledge Android use it as well,

Naturally, with the advancement of AI, one would expect XML would be first thing to rewrite, given that library is in the critical path literally everywhere.

I mean listen to yourself…

Let’s take a critical piece of infrastructure where if it goes down, billions of things also break.

And have ai rewrite it.
