Why AI Cannot Handle Full Specifications – and How Architecture with AI Really Works
Over the past months, I have experimented extensively with using AI in software and system architecture. One pattern became increasingly clear: We try to use AI like a compiler. We assume that if we specify enough, the AI should be able to generate an entire system. But this approach fails consistently. Not because AI is “too dumb” — but because we are using the wrong model. In this article, I explain why full specification does not work with AI and which architectural model does. ...
