Agreed.

What I've found is that AI can be alright at creating a Proof of Concept for an app idea, and it's great as a Super Auto-complete, but anything with a modicum of complexity, it simply can't handle.

When your code is hundreds of thousands of lines, asking an agent to fix a bug or implement a feature based on a description of the behavior just doesn't work. The AI doesn't work on call graphs, it basically just greps for strings it thinks might be relevant to find things. If you know exactly where the bug lies, it can usually find it with context given to it, but at that point, you're just as good fixing the bug yourself rather than having the AI do it.

The problem is that you have non-coders creating a PoC, then screaming from the rooftops how amazing AI is and showing off what it's done, but then they go quiet as the realization sets in that they can't get the AI to flesh it out into a viable product. Alternatively, they DO create a product that people start paying to use, and then they get hacked because the code is horribly insecure and hard-codes API keys.
