    The amount of time the “AI” is saving me is well reimbursed, maybe twice, by the time I am wasting when that “AI” is bullshitting me.

    At the end of the day, it isn’t worth the frustration.

      yep. you gotta be super explicit in what you don’t want.

      edit: and tell it to google if the first answer is weird, so the next one is “informed”. otherwise it halucinates into oblivion

    Unfortunately, the article does not write about how people use it.

    I use it to skip reading docs. Either it works, or I read the docs, sometimes in parallel, whatever is faster.

    Oftentimes I just forgot how some function is called.

    I’m still in the testing phase and in more than 50% of the cases its crap. Halizination is a real problem with those models that I’ve used.

    I just use it instead of stack overflow when you’re working with a new technology or framework

    like, write basic example for X in Y

    and then just rewrite what it spews out

    but i have never said “write me function to do X” and kept it as is because it’s usually just garbage code
