I dare you to find an AI tool that admits when it doesn't know something. I'll wait.
Okay, I won't actually make you wait. I built one, so let's skip ahead.
Every AI demo you've ever seen has the same dirty secret: ask it something it genuinely has no information about, and instead of saying "I don't know," it confidently makes something up that sounds plausible enough to fool you for a few seconds. I got tired of that specific flavor of lying, so when I built my own AI tool, I made a rule for myself: it is not allowed to do that. Not "try not to." Not allowed to, as in, the code physically prevents it from happening.
That rule turned into DevPulse, and the rest of this post is me explaining why a standup-writing bot of all things ended up being the hill I chose to die on.
The actual problem
