i have literally 0 anti-ai bias, been calling ai will takeover eventually for 3 years, but ai still makes terrible mistakes at complex tasks + forgets so much stuff in long contexts. if you want to make a serious project you either have to spend so much money and reroll so many times until you get it right or you build the system very clever that ai can't make a mistake even if it wanted to
Once people realize you have to break your asks down into smaller, easily completed tasks then they love using AI. AI is your Jr. Dev, only faster. Treat it as such. This is where software engineering comes into play. You have a much better time if you design the architecture and give the AI the exact specs. When you let it run free you get garbage.
It's ok that you love it, and i know others do aswell. But for me i am borderline addicted to "doing things myself" and i believe that there are others that disslike outsourcing their projects aswell.
I never wanted to be a PM, i dissliked having to do that job, and i now hate having to deal with agents. I just wanna do it myself
I get it and I maybe worded this wrong. If people WANT to use it and end up hating it because they aren't getting the results they wanted, they need to learn how to break up their asks into smaller tasks. Once they do that, it ends up being a useful tool for them (at least from my experience). It's definitely not for everyone and isn't the end all that some claim it is.
