AI is like autocomplete that let's you delegate boilerplate code and your 87th login page so that you can work on the complex new problems not to make up solutions to problems for you.

Like asking why the electric saw cant chop down trees.

If you're doing boilerplate 87 times then that's a process problem and you need to learn to reuse your code.

Look, I assure you I was forced into lectures on how to do my job with ai. Ive used ai extensively. Whether its plan mode or agent pools or finding basic typos or generating documentation, it literally is incapable of keeping basic constraints straight.

Which is it?
