I'm writing a book about building mobile apps[1]. I've worked on it for over two years (I have a day job). When I started taking preorders, it coincided with the AI gold rush. I thought, "Fark, now people can just use AI instead of reading my book". But my sales are actually quite good (for a nobody).
Thankfully, AI is still not there yet to make "professional" (as most people would define it) apps—unless maybe when people start feeding my book contents into GenAI, ha! (I guess it's a compliment?)
Also, AI is like DB. Sure, you can use DBeaver or something to access it "raw", but 90% of us programmers are still hired to write a CRUD wrapper. Same thing with AI. It's more useful to have an app supercharged with AI wherever it makes sense.
