AI: A Crappy Consultant, but a Great Syntax Error Finder

The author experimented with AI assistance for SwiftUI programming, finding AI to be more like an unreliable consultant than a good architect. Initially letting the AI directly edit code resulted in chaos. Later, switching to writing code themselves and using AI for suggestions significantly improved learning. AI excelled at finding syntax errors, quickly pinpointing problems, but was lacking in large-scale decision-making and architectural design, requiring manual checks. The author concludes: AI is suitable for repetitive tasks and finding syntax errors, but cannot be completely relied upon and needs human supervision and validation.
