AI in web development: curse or blessing?

AI in [web development](/services/mobileundweb development): curse or blessing?

Are web developers replaced by AI? Or are we going to be super-codern? A realistic assessment of the role of ChatGPT, Copilot and Co. in 2026.

"Will AI replace my job?" – This question has been asked by every developer in recent years. The answer 2026 is: No, but a developer MIT AI will replace a developer OHNE KI.

Artificial intelligence has fundamentally changed the way we write code. We tap less and think more. We're less "write" and more "architects".

The new superpowers

Code generation

GitHub Copilot and Ghostwriter write Boilerplate code in seconds. Unit tests? One click.

Debugging

"Why doesn't this Regex work?" KI immediately declares errors and suggests fixes.

Design to code

Upload screenshot of the design -> KI spuckt out finished React/tailwind code.

Content creation

Spacer texts ("Lorem Ipsum") are dead. AI generates realistic content for prototypes.

The dangers: Why you still need to learn codes

It sounds tempting: "I don't have to learn anything anymore, the AI does it." This is a fatal error.

Hallucinations: AI invents functions that do not exist. If you don't understand the code, you can't fix it. Safety: AI can suggest unsafe code. You're responsible for vulnerabilities. **KI is good in small snippets, but bad in complex system architecture. You have to understand the whole thing.

Conclusion: From the Coder to the Reviewer

The role is changing. We spend less time with syntax and more time with logic, architecture and code reviews. AI is the junior developer who works for you – but you are the senior who bears responsibility.
