Yes, but it is a way. And it's a way which enables many more people to start going it, then other ways. Maybe they will also never leave this way, or reach great heights on it, but that's ok, if they get their things done.
> How many people are making their own clothing? Clearly sewing machines are widely available, so they will surely create a revolution where everyone will make their own clothing! And yet - do you want to actually make your own clothing? No. You want to have time for other things, like making your own software.
I can buy cheap clothes in any shop. Usually cheaper and in better quality than making it myself. But AI is more or less for free, there is no investment. And It's useful for gaining solutions which one other would not get.
The more appropriate comparison here would be probably Excel, which is also used for personalized "software" by people.
