Bro I agree with you, I personally even see people using AI in hackathons, projects like AI is a standard now if yours logics are good you can achieve the output
You’re right on the money. Hackathons used to be about who could type the fastest; now they are about who has the best mental model of the solution. If your logic is flawed, AI will just help you build a flawed product faster. The win goes to the person who actually understands the flow.
