Seeing an AI-generated prototype before you've thought through the problem definition can fool you into thinking that it did something. That is because you can't know whether the "solution" it coughed up is actually fit for purpose! And since it looks done, you rush to ship it...and Find Out.

This is why professionals don't work by making a prototype, putting it in front of stakeholders, and asking "what do you think?" They know what questions they need to ask, and create artifacts that ask ONLY those questions. They anchor the conversation around what's important.

Not only does this make the conversation more useful (and not about whether or not stakeholders "like it" - imagine a more useless criterion!) but it also avoids misrepresenting the amount of thought that was actually put into the work. None of the gaps are hidden by flimsy close-enough greebles.
