AI: A Tool, Not a Substitute

AI serves as a useful assistant but cannot replace human intelligence or creativity. When leveraging AI for tasks such as app development, the output tends to be of mediocre quality unless grounded in solid business logic and software engineering principles. The belief that prompt crafting can substitute genuine coding skills is misguided; it merely shifts the complexity of programming into a new form. Historically, similar claims have emerged with technologies promising to enable non-engineers to code, yet these promises have often fallen short in practice. AI's capability should be seen as an enhancement rather than a complete replacement for human expertise.
