So far AI is pathetic on ideas for things to do, requirements to fulfill, imagination. It’s really not a factor. Your great idea for your needs is still your great idea.
I see AI mainly as a tool to help implement, like documentation, google, stackoverflow. AI is already good enough to help generate templates or boilerplate, so now is the time to get comfortable with it as a productivity tool. Use your great idea to get yourself up to speed on the new tool

Current AI’s ability to augment coding is no joke. I had ChatGPT (not even the latest one) write me a prosody plugin in Lua for some Jitsi integrations I was working on. It got it almost right, but I had to go in and compare its work with other prosody plugins to see where it went wrong. But see, at that point the only thing I knew about prosody was how to install plugins for it. Now I have a good understanding of how it works and also how it works with Jitsi based mostly on ChatGPT’s code and explanations. This all happened over the course of maybe two hours. I think if there’s anywhere AI will excel it’s gonna be that, shortening the feedback loop but not replacing it entirely.
