> AI is great for generating ideas or drafting code, but it doesn’t understand. It’s like giving a junior developer a chainsaw instead of a scalpel—it might finish the job, but you’ll spend twice as long cleaning up the mess.
For anything remotely complex, this is dead on. I use various models daily to help with coding, and more often than not, I have to just DIY it or start brand new chats (because the original context got overwhelmed and started hallucinating).
This is why it's incredibly frustrating to see VCs and AI founders straight-up gaslighting people about what this stuff can (or will) do. They're trying to push this as a "work killer," but really, it's going to be some version of the opposite: a mess creator that necessitates human intervention.
Where we're at is amazing, but we've got a loooong way to go before we can be on hover crafts sipping sodas Wall-E style.
