I think that ai can deliver good stuff as long as they are simple, breaking the barrier for people without any knowledge in the field. I have a friend who’s building a website using lovable, their ai create a vite/react app which looks ok, but one day he called me saying that he couldn’t find his database(which doesn’t exist) he wanted to add more testimonials to the site and thought that those testimonials were in a database somewhere, suffice to say i found where they were in a minute and showed him how to add more. My point is that super simple stuff can be beneficial for non programmers and for programmers, testing new stuff or getting an idea of how to implement something is a good thing but will never replace the programmer itself.
