Google has extended its AI Studio tool to Android development, allowing anyone with an idea — but no programming knowledge — to build a functional app through natural language conversation. This moment marks a quiet but consequential shift in who gets to be a creator in the digital world, dissolving barriers that once required years of study or significant financial investment. The question it raises is ancient and new at once: when the tools of creation become universally accessible, what becomes of craft, quality, and the meaning of expertise?
