It doesn't save me much if any time to refactor/fill in that template, but it does save some mental fatigue that I can then spend on much more interesting problems. It's a niche tool, but occasionally quite handy. Without leaps forward technically though, it's never going to become more than that. permalink fedilink source parent [–] dgmib@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago Just beware, sometimes the AI suggestions are scary good, some times they’re batshit crazy.
