Watching the serious people trying to use AI to code gives me the same feeling as the cybertruck people exploring the limits of their car. XD

"It's terrible and I should hate it, but gosh it it isn't just so cool"

I wish i could get so excited over disappointing garbage

You definitely could use AI to code, the catch is you need to know how to code first.

I use AI to write code for mundane tasks all the time. I also review and integrate the code myself.

The AI code my “expert in a related but otherwise not helpful field” coworker writes helps me have a lot of extra work to do!

It's useful if you just don't do....That. it's just a new fancy search engin, it's a bit better than going to stack overflow, it can do good stuff if you go small.

Just don't do whatever this post suggested of doing...
