"The AI Did It": Not an Acceptable Answer

"Let the AI write the code, you just focus on ideas." Sounds great… until your software crashes and no one can explain why.

If you're investing in digital products, you need to understand one thing: AI is powerful, but it's not accountable. The concept of "man in the loop" exists for a reason: a human must always validate, understand, and take responsibility for what is built.

Let's discuss: how much visibility do you really have over the code behind your product?
