    AI is only good for the stage when…

    AI is only good in case you want to…

    Can’t think of anything. Edit: yes, I really tried
    Playing the Devils’ advocate was easier that being AI’s advocate.


    I might have said it to be good in case you are pitching a project and want to show some UI stuff maybe, without having to code anything.
    But you know, there are actually specialised tools for that, which UI/UX designers used, to show my what I needed to implement.
    And when I am pitching UI, I just use a pencil and paper and it is so much more efficient than anything AI, because I don’t need to talk to something, to make a mockup, to be used to talk to someone else. I can just draw it in front of the other guy with 0 preparation, right as it came into my mind and don’t need to pay for any data center usage. And if I need to go paperless, there is Whiteboards/Blackboards/Greenboards and Inkscape.

    After having banged my head trying to explain code to a new developer, so that they can hopefully start making meaningful contributions, I don’t want to be banging my head on something worse than a new developer, hoping that it will output something that is logically sound.
