I think surpassed is not the right word because it doesn't create/ideate. However it is incredibly resourceful. Maybe like having a jr engineer to do your bidding without thinking or growing.
Surpassed is probably the wrong word but the intent is more that it can comprehend quite complicated algorithms and patterns and apply them to your problem space. So yea it’s not a human but I don’t think saying subpar to a human is the right comparison either. In many ways it’s much better, I can run N parallel revisions and have the best implementation picked for review. This all happens in seconds.
Yes, this. Creating multiple iterations in parallel allows much more meaningful exploration of the solution space. Create a branch for each framework and try them all, compare them directly in praxis not just in theory. My brother is doing this to great effect as a solopreneur, and having the time of his life.
