I guess it was only a matter of time before this niche of business developed.

AI is an imprecise "programming" language, full of ambiguity (English) trying to produce precise relationships between different concepts.

It certainly works great on small scale, building block type of things, but the more a project grows in complexity, components, interfacing with other heterogenous systems in other languages or APIs, understanding wtf is going on top to bottom.... it fails miserably.

Reminds me of how xUML was going to be the panacea to replace coding. AI is failing for the same reasons. At least with xUML you have a precise definition - with AI, you're vibing your way into one.
