That’s actually how I am using AI for my work (web dev, pls don’t hate me). If I am stuck or have some tiny function missing for a task I ask AI, check their output - if it’s garbage I continue on my own again or if it’s usable I review the output and continue from there. Also, I think AI can be neat for „rubberducking“ when I am debugging some stupid shit and point me in directions I haven’t looked before.

    Similar to how I have found success with it. Is it revolutionary? No, not at all. But it's a variable sized (big for some use and nonexistent for other use) incremental tool that requires a new skill set to use effectively.

    Mix in all of the hype and its easy to see why people are confused and why some get different results.
