- Praise: AI has drastically boosted my app development speed — going from zero to 100% AI-generated code is a game changer for personal projects.
- Praise: The ability to quickly generate complex apps means I can tackle projects I never would have attempted before.
- Praise: With AI, I can now integrate native apps for both Android and iOS, something that was previously unthinkable in my workflow.
- Concern: While AI can speed up coding, the corporate environment is still bogged down by red tape, making it hard to realize those gains.
- Concern: Despite the time savings, many workers find that the overall productivity hasn't really improved, leading to burnout instead.
- Concern: Many companies are wasting resources on AI applications that don't yield tangible benefits, like email writing, which adds to the skepticism around AI's real value.
