TL;DR, the author claims that you should record the reasons for change, rather than the code changes themselves...

CONGRATULATIONS: you have just 'invented' documentation, specifically a CHANGE_LOG.

The URL and title give it away:

URL starts with 'ai' and the title claims 'is' and 'the new version control.'

I then skimmed through the article, and it mentions it doesn't exist today.

First, it requires an implementation to prove the point, and then it has to defeat the network effect of git. There is zero proof for that argument, only a hypothesis. (Which sums up AI hype pretty well.) Someone's trying to hype AI, just like someone was hyping blockchain. GLHF w/that. Oh, and thank you for ruining the hardware market, assholes.

It’s worse than that. The author thinks you can generate working software from a changelog that will work consistently from build to build.

Anyone want to try and lmk how far you get?
