while I think there is a lot to this criticism of AI (and many others as well) I was also able to create a TUI-based JVM visualizer with a step debugger in an evening for my compilers class:
this is something that I could build given a few months, but would involve a lot of knowledge that I'm not particularly interested in taking up space in my increasingly old brain (especially TUI development)
I gave the clanker very specific, expert directions and it turned out a tool that I think it will make the class better for my students.

all to say: not all bad
