My current conclusion about this topic: - AI is great for any kind of prototyping. If you want to test something super quick, go for AI built programs. It’s a cheap and fast way to test ideas. - AI is not great for actual products especially those that have evolved some well justified complexity over time. This explains why YC sees something like +80% of their new batches using AI and why I haven’t seen any cases of larger/established companies using AI more than an advanced type ahead in confined areas like testing. So will AI be an essential part of any develop and build process? Absolutely. Will AI be able to conquer the second space over time? Maybe. But also maybe not. And if many people avoid CS now because they (falsely) believe AI will take their job, we will have a bad shortage of devs in a couple of years.
