Well, at least some will refuse to develop their own junk, others will think about hiring a specialist, others will start learning themselves and achieving results — in my opinion, all this is already not bad!
It's like when the Internet appeared. But there was a lot of good then, we adapted, became faster and probably smarter.
With AI it's similar, so far a lot is unclear what and how, but for me personally AI (after a year of active experiments and trials) helps a lot — a kind of "second brain" and ... often ... a critical interlocutor!
Ha, fair. And ironically - I actually wrote a post about that exact thing (yes, even the em-dash vs hyphen debate): https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:7308500628178153472/
Also, for the record: on macOS, em-dash (—) = Option + Shift + –
I don't think AI replaces expertise - it just compresses the cost and time to get to first proof. Most AI-built MVPs are messy. The key shift is: you can now test your vision faster than ever before.
Totally get that - I’ve had the same emotional rollercoaster. The bugs, the mess - that’s where the learning is. If it just worked, it wouldn't feel earned. Keep going - the fact that you’ve shipped anything already puts you ahead of 99% of "someday builders")
Yes, my review is based on this study, I should have included a link right away - https://machinelearning.apple.com/research/illusion-of-thinking
They're looking for ambitious ideas such as:
- new interaction models (e.g. sketches, voice with emotional cues, multimodal input);
- Self-flying agents with long-running autonomy, deeper planning and code rewriting.
- Agents that can improve themselves (think Absolute Zero and Darwinian evolution).
- Automation tools that connect agents to the physical world (e.g. smart homes, robots and 3D printers).
Grant terms:
• 12 months per project
- Milestone-based payouts (quarterly check-ins). • Open worldwide • Individuals and small teams welcome, even if you only have a rough idea. • Rolling applications — no deadline

This is worth checking out if you're into open-source AI, agent autonomy, or building creative tools on top of LLMs.
