tl;dr - use AI to build your website, then hit me up when it can't.
Working in tech people often ask me if I'm concerned about AI replacing my services, taking my job, etc - no, I'm not concerned. AI is a tool, not a replacement. A hammer can't build a house unless held by proper hands. It simply makes my job "easier" (aka, more productive - unfortunately work balance remains the same).
We've already seen plenty of vibe coding fiascos where a lack of foundational knowledge completely undermines the product, some cases ending in large security breaches. Give me everything I need to construct an engine and I guarentee I'll fuck it up, because I've no experience fitting drive gears into camshafts.
The idea of "all-in-one" solutions has existed long before the recent AI boom. Sites like Squarespace and Wix have marketed how "easy" it is for anyone to build a website for decades, no experience necessary! Only to end up with a site that looks like dog fart because you've never designed a website before, what the hell would you know about typography? You're a mechanic!
AI is a tool, plain and simple. It can't properly review itself, it can't sit in meetings and explain to clients which choices they have, it can't work with designers on scope limitations. There's an element of creativity developers flex to achieve results that clankers can't pursue without getting stuck in loops. I can't tell you how many times AI has offered me absolute drivel as solutions. Like with any tool, you know when to use it. I'm not using a screwdriver to paint my walls, I'm not using AI to secure API layers.
What I will use AI for is simple and tedious work like converting a stylesheet, or generating an image of Wario in a bikini.
