Yes, despite the irrational phobia amongst the Lemmings, AI is massively useful across a wide range of examples like you've just given as it reduces barriers to building something.

As a CS grad, the problem isn't it replacing all programmers, at least not immediately. It's that a senior software engineer can manage a bunch of AI agents, meaning there's less demand for developers overall.

Same way tools like Wix, Facebook, etc came in and killed the need for a bunch of web developers that operated in the range for small businesses.
