The goalposts move every month. We’re at the stage where handing an entire specification to a mid-tier AI and walking away while it does all the work and then being disappointed that it wasn’t perfect means it’s useless.



If I still have to do a ton of work to clean up whatever the AI shits out then it might as well have done nothing. The promise of these systems from the hypesters is that it can do everything, so don't be surprised when people expect exactly that.

Either you find what AI produces is in general "shit" (which is not realistic to think for latest LLMs, but ok).

Or you take a knee-jerk all or nothing black and white attitude to it.

"If you have to do a ton of work"? Is that work much less than what you'd have done without any AI assistance?
