> I guess for me the questions is, at what point do you feel it would be reasonable to this without the experts involved in your case?

I don't know if it was the intent but these kind of questions bother me, the seem to hint at an agenda, "when can I have a farm of idiots with keyboards paid minimum wage churn out products indistinguishable from expertly designed applications".

To me that's the danger of AI, not it's purported intelligence, but our manifested greed.

Yeah, I mean that is definitely the intent of the question and it's absolutely one of the factors that's driving money into AI.

Assisting competent engineers certainly has value, but it's not an easy calculation to assess that value compared to the actual non-subsidized cost of AI's current state.

On the other hand having a farm of idiots, or even no idiots at all, just computers, churning out high quality applications is a completely different value proposition.
