AI Amplifies Confusion Instead of Punishing It

A few years ago, building software meant you had to know every little detail. If you didn’t know something, you stopped and Googled for hours. Then AI arrived and suddenly the work felt different. But work didn’t actually get easier. In a way, I think it gets more complex as AI exposes your thinking in a way older tools never did. Back then, if you weren’t clear, you simply got nothing. Today, even if you are not clear, AI can still produce ten possible solutions in seconds. AI doesn’t punish confusion but it amplifies it. It takes your half-formed thought, wraps it with confident predictions, and hands it back to you. AI surely made it possible to build more but not better. That part is still our job.
