I noticed an interesting detail: this iOS developer with 9 years of experience used AI to write code and made a game in 2 weeks, but all his effort went into "design blueprints" rather than "laying bricks."

Let's get straight to the point: This kind of 100% AI-generated code would almost certainly fail any serious commercial App review at the engineering implementation level. Cursor Vibe Jam is a creative competition, not an industrial standard. Game products are far less sensitive to performance, power consumption, and memory compared to the 5G baseband chip drivers we deal with daily.

As an engineer who worked on 5G basebands at Unisoc, what I see isn't…

It is a fact that AI accelerates standard cell layout, but the power wall issue is essentially a system-level design problem, not something tokens can solve. We tried using AI to generate MCU drivers, but power optimization relied entirely on manual parameter tuning. The ROI calculation just didn't add up.
