> My first stab at a UX render usually sucks too, it’s the iteration that brings perfection
With AI, your iteration cycle gets 10x/100x quicker. For the same developer effort, you can effectively try out 10s of ideas the same period of time.
Iteration also has a human component. When a person works hard and writes the code, they are personally invested in its success. So iteration, or, chucking out someone’s hard work is psychologically damaging and causes human conflicts in teams. If AI wrote it, and AI deleted it, no-one gets upset. All that matters are good ideas. Reducing the human cost of iteration is just as important as the time saving.
And, now you have freed up implementation time, you now have way more time for testing, that thing that everyone wished they had more time to do, with a super intelligent 100x developer (ai) as your coding partner, and a 100x lever for automating regression testing. Bad UX has zero excuses.

This, except not (just) for UX, but for everything else too. Tonnes of ideas and side project people had on hold for lack of time and/or knowledge, have now been built and trialed thanks to AI.
You see this in the recent boom of reverse engineered multi platform releases of vintage video games that were once tied to a specific console.
Or people reverse engineering their crappy IoT home smart devices to build better multi platform UIs controllers for them.
Which is why I'm really struggling to understand how tech people can still now say with a straight face "AI isn't useful for me". Maybe they just lack imagination?
