In the process of finding out what customers or a PM/PO wants, developers ask clarifying questions given an ambiguous start. An AI could be made to also ask these questions. It may do this reasonably better than some engineers by having access to a ton of questions in its training data.

By using an AI, you might be making a reasonable guess that your problem has been solved before, but maybe not the exact details. This is true for a lot of technical tasks as I don't need to reinvent database access from first principles for every project. I google ORMs or something in my particular language and consider the options.

Even if the AI doesn't give you a direct solution, it's still a prompt for your brain as if you were in a conversation.
