    AI is good at doing a thing once.
    Trying to get it to do the same thing the second time is janky and frustrating.

    I understand the use of AI as a consulting tool (look at references, make code examples) or for generating template/boilerplate code. You know, things you do once and then develop further upon on your own.

    But using it for continuous development of an entire application? Yeah, it’s not good enough for that.

Either manually, or by reprompting until it gets thing done exactly how you want it. If you don’t have preference or don’t care, the problems will stockpile. If you didn’t understand what it did and moved on, it might not end well.
