I work with developers every day. Between us we often give the AI directions like:

   * Write a query to link table X to table Y across this schema, returning all the unique entries related to X.id 1234
   * Write code add an editable comment list to this UI
   * Give me a design to visually manage statuses for this list
   * Look at this UI and give me five ideas for improving it

Some of those work better than others, but none of them are guaranteed failures.
