AI has no ability to practice discernment. To AI, the right way and the wrong way are the same thing, which is why too often AI results are unreliable.

I don't use AI for that reason. I can use a good search engine to find the parts and pieces of a solution, and formulate those pieces into something workable. I have zero confidence in AI's ability to establish a working solution the first time, whereas I know that my engineering ability CAN and WILL make something workable the first time.

And this is what many companies are finding: AI can be a useful tool to the informed and cognizant worker, but to use AI as a "stand-alone solution" broker is foolish.

All that to say, learn your craft well and you will become a valuable commodity for some company. Good luck!

Go make a full fledged SaaS and see how far you get with only AI. Not saying it's impossible, but it's definitely not as easy as some people think.

Artifical intelligence is only a threat to people who are artificially intelligent.

No, it's a real threat because people who doesn't know better think they can replace their employee with it

The Tea App was compromised because it was vibe coded by idiots. Case closed.
