A developer argues that current AI models, while capable of generating accurate node labels for diagrams, struggle with drawing accurate and consistent edges between them. The issue stems from the models' token-by-token generation process, which prevents them from performing the global constraint optimization needed for complex graph routing. The proposed solution is to have AI models output structured data, like JSON, which can then be processed by dedicated layout engines (e.g., ELK) to generate diagrams, ensuring consistency and editability.
