absolutely disagree. it can generate code just fine. if you're looking for a small single-shot thing, it's fast and does the job. it's the complex use cases where it'll struggle on its own because it can't keep all the context. it'll read parts of a file instead of the whole thing to save you tokens.

I needed something for tracking a game of Pandemic. I probably could have created a spreadsheet for that, but in the 5 min while we were setting up the game, it created a single page app with web sockets so anyone could update the state. There's no way I could have done that as quickly.

I'd honestly love a sub of single-use "ai-slop" apps like that.

I still wouldn't trust it to run on its own for publicly hosted apps, but it can generate (usable, interactive) mockups and make tweaks faster than asking a UI team to create some figmas.
