I accept AI is a tool for a user who knows the fundamentals, and hope it makes the citizen developers or people who are not trained in programming to get more systems thinking. Its best if it makes more programmers when they want to understand the stuff.
Fun analogy Kinda like power tools like are we tightening a screw using a screwdriver or doing it with a power drill. Case in point there is chance of ease as well as more risk while doing it with power drill.
You are absolutely right, it can be guided to produce code but needs corrections like its too easy to create unmaintainable solutions.
Also to untrained eye without good architecture, it does the job but when one who doesn't have architectural skill will think that's enough and there's no more room for improvement. This cause troubles in their production.
Like if it solves their pain points and makes them think systematically and critically. That is better.
What i don't like is giving much information to 3rd party service providers of AI developer tooling LLMs + Copilot and such, which is causing lot of real market level Risk for Indian IT Service Firms and has started costing jobs and literally erosion of market share because the service providers like Open AI launched their own firms like Deploy.Co.
Smaller companies who didn't know any better using tooling and developing stuff and on growth bringing professionals to fix mistakes has been happening long. There are literally companies who made solutions by Access and Sold it to clients, we literally told them even as competitors to compile the things as programs to avoid from future cases of fraud by their Users who were doing shady things.
