I do believe it's amazing what we can build with AI tools today.

But whenever someone advertises how an expert will benefit from it yet they end up with crap, it's a different discussion.

As an expert, I want AI to help me produce code of similar quality faster. Anyone can find a cheaper engineer (maybe five of them?) that can produce 5-10x the code I need at much worse quality.

I will sometimes produce crappy code when I lack the time to produce higher quality code: can AI step in and make me always produce high quality code?

That's a marked improvement I would sign up for, and some seem to tout, yet I have never seen it play out.

In a sense, the world is already full of crappy code used to build crappy products: I never felt we were lacking in that department.

And I can't really rejoice if we end up with even more of it :)
