Eric Siu explains why AI code generators like Replit and Cursor won't make you rich yet. These tools still produce unreliable code that can corrupt or delete your work, and Claude itself has these problems. They're not ready to replace human developers.
As of today, you cannot get rich off of AI code generator apps. And when I say AI code generator apps, I mean like a Replit, a Cursor, a v0. The problem, I've seen some people talking about how they use these code editors to build their app, and then once they become such a clunky pile of code where once they try to run it through Claude, for example, Claude's like, it doesn't know what to do with it, right? And it basically like starts deleting the code base. So we're not quite there yet, but I think we'll get there, just not today.
