AI Coding: Expert Enhancer, Not Replacement

AI's role in coding is far from replacing programmers; instead, it acts as an efficiency booster for senior developers. AI excels at boilerplate code, automating repetitive tasks, and rapid iteration, but it falls short in code review, architecture design, code quality, and security. Therefore, the currently most effective combination is "senior developer + AI," not the initially envisioned "junior developer + AI." AI's best applications are in rapid prototyping, automating routine tasks, multidisciplinary work, and simple function tests. While AI holds immense potential in coding, human review of its generated code remains crucial, and expectations should align with reality.
