I love these books, but in a poor job market AND "AI can do it anyway", it's not going to get much attention.
Despite "AI can it" is not even true, anyone with a brain will let AI fill in the details but let a "streetfighting computer scientist" make the architecture AND check the AI contributions. I would tell you to look into how the artcraft applications are made but I bet that's too much trouble too.
How about you just try it? Demonstrate getting claude, the best model, making a big application for you. See if it works. Have it make Excel or Call Of Duty, like seems popular. Try it!
