I was thinking about this today. It's super impressive that AI can get you to a working solution. You can tailor it to your specific needs. It gets you 80% there, often with a few prompts. But good luck solving the 20% when you put this in front of real people, wanting to scale.

Maybe AI can help solve the issues that come up, but at that point you have to know what to ask for much more precisely. If you're not technical, that's a stretch. Also coding up a feature is almost never an issue. Getting an existing system to evolve in the way you want over time is the real task.

Maybe AI gets there eventually, but it's definitely not there now. But you see none of that when you get your 80% of one feature within minutes.
