All that stuff would take me about 5 minutes without AI. Those are things with 10,000 examples all over the web. AI is good at distilling the known solutions. But anything even slightly out of the ordinary, it fails miserably. I'd much rather write that code myself instead of spend an hour convincing an AI to do it for me.

There is absolutely no way. Those tasks take 5 mins to do. Itd be done by the time you read the documentation for elvenlabs

Im curious though, what do you consider slightly out of the ordinary that it fails to do?

No, it wouldn't. Merely finding the examples and deps would take over an hour.

There isn't a single person on this planet (detractor or not) that would believe this statement.

If you're argument rests on an insane amount of hyperbole (that immediately comes off as just lying), then maybe it's not a great argument.

You're not suggesting that asking CC to build the UI for a route planner takes me an hour to type, are you?
