Yes, despite the irrational phobia amongst the Lemmings, AI is massively useful across a wide range of examples like you've just given as it reduces barriers to building something.
As a CS grad, the problem isn't it replacing all programmers, at least not immediately. It's that a senior software engineer can manage a bunch of AI agents, meaning there's less demand for developers overall.
Same way tools like Wix, Facebook, etc came in and killed the need for a bunch of web developers that operated in the range for small businesses.
Yes! You get it. That right there proves that you'll make it through just fine. So many in this thread denying that Ai is gonna take jobs. But you gave a great scenario.
