It takes 5+ seconds just to change one field to dark mode, I don't even want to imaigne a situation where I have two fields and I want to explain that I need to change this field and not that field.
I'm not sure who is the target audience for this, people who want to be programmers without learning programming ?
My 2c as someone who worked on a similar product:

Think of it as a calculator. You do want to be able to do addition, but not neccessarily to manually add 4-digit numbers in your head.

Our current LLMs are way too slow for this. I am chuckling every time someone says "we don't need LLMs to be faster because people can't read faster". Imagine this using Groq with a future model with similar capability level, and taking 0.5 seconds to do this small change.
People need to remember we're at the very beginning of using AI for coding. Of course it's suboptimal for majority of cases. Unless you believe we're way past half the sigmoid curve on AI improvements (which I don't), consider that this is the worst the AI is ever going to be for coding.
A year ago people were incredulous when told that AI could code. A year before that people would laugh you out of the room. Now we're at the stage where it kinda works, barely, sometimes. I'm bullish on the future.
