Миф о том, что с ИИ можно собрать полноценный проект за вечер без опыта, звучит красиво только в теории. На примере футбольного менеджера рассказываю, почему даже с опытом в разработке и активным использованием ИИ путь до живой системы занял почти год: из-за архитектуры, механик, дизайна, ассетов и постоянной ручной сборки продукта.
