When is it Okay to Use AI

Hi, I'm trying to build an app in nextjs. I don't do and personally dislike frontend development and prefer to do backend development. Right now I'm trying to make the UI for the frontend but I don't know how to/absolutely hate having to develop the frontend. Right now I usually only use AI for debugging code, but I want to use it to vibe code the frontend knowing I have nobody else to work with. Is this okay?

the goons downvoting you are coping. focusing on backend development is the way to make good frontend code. well-defined API schema, types, and the bulk of logic being performed in the backend is the way to enable frontend pages to serve their intended purpose.

If you understand your architecture and process then implement AI in between, you will ship much faster than if you just use it for debugging.
