This is a great case for the benefits of using GenAI, in that you already possess an understanding of what you want to achieve. You know what it is you want to prototype, what is on your "giant list of 'maybe somedays if I ever get to breathe' list", what you want to end up delivering.

My point is and remains:

  A) GenAI did not give you this understanding.
  B) GenAI can only assist in your expressing this
     preexisting understanding.
  C) GenAI is a statistical token (text) generator and
     cannot, by definition, "make" a person understand
     what they want/need to do.
