   I also have found that AI has not lived up to many of its promises and have dialed back what AI gets control of. My projects were turning into unmaintainable messes. The people who say coding is solved aren't paying attention.

      AI is a useful tool but it absolutely needs a lot of human guidance.

      Unlike a compiler it won't give up at the first sign of trouble but that just means it left alone it will dig bigger and bigger holes.

      Treat prompt engineering as a discipline and refine your technique. When it produces garbage throw out the work and start over until you figure it out.
