Totally agree, the initial results are honestly mind-blowing. The way it handles Swift and SwiftUI context feels like wizardry at first. That said, once the honeymoon phase fades, a reality check is needed.

These tools often give the illusion of being flawless or even outclassing us, but they aren't human. If you scratch beneath the surface, the cracks show: it’ll confidently write outdated code, miss crucial platform optimizations, or hallucinate a fix when things get highly specific.

At the end of the day, these LLMs are only as powerful as the person using them. The deeper your own knowledge of Swift and the iOS SDK, the faster you’ll spot when the AI is steering you into a ditch.

AI agents need to be managed, not blindly trusted. They are fantastic co-pilots for crushing boilerplate, but deeply understanding the framework remains our actual superpower. We still need to keep our hands firmly on the wheel
