Current gen AI can spit out some very, very basic web sites (I won't even elevate to the word "app") with some handholding and poking and prodding to get it to correct its own mistakes.

There is no one out there building real, marketable production apps where AI "codes everything for them". At least not yet, but even in the future it seems infeasible because of context. I think even the most pro-AI people out there are vastly underestimating the amount of context that humans have and need to manage in order to build fully fledged software.

It is pretty great as a ridealong pair programmer though. I've been using Cursor as my IDE and can't imagine going back to a non-AI coding experience.
