Are Apps Going Extinct? The Irony of AI vs. Specialized Software
Imagine ordering pizza with just your voice command—AI makes it seem effortless. Yet, when it comes to complex tasks, can AI truly replace specialized applications? Here’s what you need to know:
-
Simplified Tasks vs. Complex Problems:
- AI shines in simple scenarios, but complex tasks—like managing a project in Jira—pose considerable challenges.
- These apps aren’t just interfaces; they enforce workflows, manage permissions, and offer real-time collaboration.
-
Cost Considerations:
- Building a complex financial model using AI may cost more than purchasing Excel. Every command consumes tokens, quickly adding up.
-
App Market Dynamics:
- Ironically, as AI tools like Cursor reduce app development costs, we might see growth in the app market rather than a decline.
As AI evolves, its role in our tech landscape remains to be seen. 🤖
