So a bit like `create-react-app` or `dotnet new` or such, but now powered by AI?*

Well, I haven't used either of those, so I can't comment on a comparison ... but the point is less 'powered by an ai' and more the fact that I'm using English, not the jargon of create-react-app or dotnet new or the rails version or the django version ... Right now, my experience programming with an AI is that I'm much better off asking for subroutines to do this and that, not ask for a complete architecture. Mostly for debugging reasons: When it doesn't work, I want the debugging to be manageable. Getting the AI to debug its own code has not been a productive path for me, but hopefully soon.
