Ask HN: What software / applications can you now build thanks to AI

While many are focusing on AI chatbots / {x} AI for B2B, I am particularly excited about useful technology that can now be built in small teams thanks to AI (hardware telemetry platforms , new encrypted messaging apps, etc)

My personal opinion is that if a team couldn't write something before AI then they should be very careful about writing it with the help of AI.
For example a team that couldn't write a new encrypted messaging app without AI, gets an AI to write them one. How do they check that the code is actually secure? Writing encryption code is very hard to get correct, in fact most humans can't get it right, and if you don't understand the intricacies of cryptography then you'll never pick up the mistakes the AI makes.
