AI is like a power tool. If you give a contractor a nail gun instead of a hammer he can build a house faster. If you give someone who has no idea how to build a house a nail gun they’ll just fail at building a house faster than if you only gave them a hammer and they’ll probably hurt themselves.

I can build my bosses app faster with ai, but I would never build any app I want to maintain with it. It’s too low quality code for my standards.

I think there is a middle ground where you can absolutely build apps faster with the help of ai and still get maintainable code.
Just don’t let AI write a whole app in one shot. Or even whole features.
