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.

One thing that has changed for me personally is that these days if I’m parsing XML, I might just tell AI to write a parser that can handle these 5 XML files. It might load up a library or it might just roll its own, but one thing that is not going to happen is that I’m not building some beautiful well engineered XML parser which I then open source. I wonder if that is what’s going on?

That sounds worse than using an xml library to parse something
