THE AI CAN FIGURE OUT THE ARCHITECTURE. I STILL HAVE TO EXPLAIN WHAT I WANT.
The agents working on Earth Economy Simulator have probably accumulated three or four weeks of runtime by now, basically running 24/7. For something that runs that long, giving it direction still matters a lot. If I stop paying attention for too long, it can build a lot of perfectly reasonable things in the wrong direction. But the directions are becoming more and more high level. I do not spend much time deciding which architecture or technology it should use. The AI can usually figure that stuff out. What I still have to provide are the things that only exist in my head. What should the simulator feel like? What should be visible? What matters more? When is a technically correct result still not the thing I meant? Maybe that is what my job is becoming. Not choosing the architecture, but getting the thing in my head out clearly enough that the agents build the right thing. Which is still surprisingly hard.
