The danger of glamourizing one shots

AI-assisted coding shouldn't be evaluated by "one-shot" demonstrations where a single prompt generates complete applications. These demos often rely on well-known terms like "Minecraft" that carry enormous semantic weight from training data, producing generic, average implementations. Real programming requires iterative refinement to transform ambiguous requirements into specific solutions. As AI becomes more prevalent, the ability to articulate precise goals, maintain system stability through changes, and apply sound software development practices becomes more critical than ever.
