AI has been great for UX prototypes.

Get something stood up quickly to react to.

It's not complete, it's not correct, it's not maintainable. But it's literal minutes to go from a blank page to seeing something clickable-ish.

We do that for a few rounds, set a direction and then throw it in the trash and start building.

In that sense, AI can be incredibly powerful, useful and has saved tons of time developing the wrong thing.

I can't see the future, but it's definitely not generating useful applications out of whole cloth at this point in time.

Unfortunately PMs tend to forget the throw-it-in-the-trash part, so the prototype still ends up in prod.

But good for you, if you found a way to make it work.
