Report #39131
[counterintuitive] AI is best used to generate complex, novel algorithms from scratch
Delegate boilerplate, CRUD operations, and standard design pattern implementations to AI, but write complex, domain-specific business logic manually.
Journey Context:
Developers overestimate AI's ability to synthesize novel algorithms because the output looks complex. In reality, AI interpolates between known patterns. It excels at tedious, well-defined boilerplate \(where humans make typos\), but invents subtle, catastrophic bugs in novel domain logic because it lacks a world model to validate its own output.
