The future beyond AI chat bots
Blog post from Sanity
In a recent episode of the Code && Content podcast, the host reflects on a 2021 talk by Maggie Appleton at React Advanced London, where she emphasized the role of visuals in programming education, contrasting it with today's predominantly text-based AI tools. The discussion explores the impact of AI on developer education, questioning whether reliance on AI tools might lead to less discerning developers and if it's more crucial to understand machine processes or to excel at prompt engineering. The conversation envisions a future where AI tools not only assist in building but also educate users on the rationale behind their decisions, potentially enhancing both speed and understanding in development projects. This marks a shift from post-AI cynicism to embracing AI's potential to transform learning and development.
