> starting a fullstack project from scratch, and i'm stupefied by the result.

Really? That's possibly the easiest task you could have asked it to do.

i generated the project, then added features, which meant adding new tables , forms, api endoints, navigation. Then asked for subtle changes in the way the fields were edited. At one point i asked it to "make the homepage look a bit more professional", and it did.

In what world is this "the easiest task" ??

I can do all this in my sleep. Except "a bit more professional" as I suck at design.

I could do all this in my sleep when I was in my second year of career, and now I'm in my 24th year (god, I'm old).

What you described isn't just easy, it's trivial, and extremely boilerplate-y. That's why these automated token prediction machines are reasonably good at it.

Our world?

You created something from scratch that used several boilerplate components with general use cases.

The amount of times professional devs do this is probably almost nil on the scale of the world.
