    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.

      I treat AI like an intern or junior team member. With enough guidance, they can contribute a lot but you can't let them loose without supervision or they usually will produce a big mess. As of now, you are still responsible for overall architecture. One strong indicator that something is going wrong are big pull requests where the AI has rewritten large sections of the code.
