AI is as smart as the person who uses it

An experienced web developer, who has witnessed technology evolve from dial-up to AI, observes that AI significantly accelerates web development projects. Tasks that previously took 3-4 weeks can now be completed in 1-3 days, not by replacing engineering but by augmenting implementation. The developer is curious about others' perspectives on whether AI is seen as a replacement, augmentation, or an overhyped tool.

This account offers a concrete comparison of project timelines, showing a reduction from 3-4 weeks to 1-3 days, unlike more abstract discussions of AI's impact.
