AI has dramatically lowered the cost of producing software, allowing solo founders to handle work that previously required designers, engineers, and other specialists, but easier production does not automatically provide the expertise required to judge whether the result is good. Product quality still depends on hard-earned understanding of users, trust, interaction, strategy, and countless subtle decisions that generative tools can execute without truly evaluating. Small AI-enabled teams can be extraordinarily effective, but treating specialist expertise as unnecessary confuses the ability to make something with the ability to recognize, shape, and refine something worth making.
