Ai is a great tool, but so far, it's just that. A tool. It still requires a competent hand to direct, monitor and check it. Unfortunately, there are too many 'devs'- I say the term loosely- relying fully on AI to do everything, which ultimately causes more issues than it solves.

AI as a tool for a competent dev can massively increase productivity, but only if they can understand what the AI is doing and fix what goes wrong. I've dabbled a little with some 'vibe coding', but I know I'm nowhere near able to produce full, working, and most importantly 'safe' products to take to the masses. It's a fun way to 'learn' the basics, but becoming reliant on AI will be the downfall of many!
