   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 am not saying you are right or wrong, but I don’t think you can make such a broad conclusion simply because of your own experience.

      You say you used AI and your projects turned into unmaintainable messes, so your conclusion is that it means AI is not living up to its promises.

      I guess if the argument is “AI makes it so you always get a great result no matter how you use it”, then your argument is sound. Your projects not working out proves that AI doesn’t always work no matter what.

      However, that doesn’t mean you can’t use AI to create sustainable and well organized code. Failing to do something doesn’t mean it’s impossible and anyone who thinks they can is not paying attention.

      I can’t run a marathon. If I went out and tried to run one, I would get a few miles and collapse, failing completely.

      I don’t think it would be reasonable, though, at that point to say “running a marathon is impossible, anyone who says they can do it clearly lying. I tried and didn’t even make it 5 miles!”

      I wish people would stop assuming their experience with something is the only possible truth.

         Stop being overly polite to these people. It is seriously coming down to the point of utter delusion.

         As ai becomes better these people will begin changing their story because it’s utterly obvious what’s happening.
