That mirrors my experience so far. The AI is fantastic for prototyping, in languages/frameworks you might be totally unfamiliar with. You can make all sorts of cool little toy projects in a few hours, with just some minimal promoting

The danger is, it doesn't quite scale up. The more complex the project, the more likely the AI is to get confused and start writing spaghetti code. It may even work for a while, but eventually the spaghetti piles up to the point that not even more spaghetti will fix it

I'll get that's going to get better over the next few years, with better tooling and better ways to get the AI to figure out/remember relevant parts of the code base, but that's just my guess
