Right. What has AI ever done for us? Seriously. Everyone's banging on about AI this, AI that — but when it comes to actually building a Joomla site, what has it delivered? I'll tell you what. Nothing.

Well, it did write most of my template CSS last week. Took about twenty minutes instead of a full day. But yes Reg, apart from that — nothing.

All right, I'll grant you the CSS. That's one thing. But apart from the CSS, what has AI actually done for Joomla development? Nothing!

If I may interject — technically the correct term is 'large language model assisted development.' And it's also been rather good at generating module overrides. I had Claude Code produce three custom override layouts in an afternoon.

Yes, all right. Obviously the CSS and the module overrides. That goes without saying. But APART from the CSS and the module overrides—

And the database queries. I asked it to write a query to pull articles by category with custom field joins and it got it right first time. Which is more than Gregory's ever managed.
