If I use AI for my personal coding projects I've found that if the task is unsolvable by the ai model, I'm not able to sit down and do it myself until the next day. It's like I've got to reset my brain.

If I want to save time and use AI for a specific part of the code, it probably saves me 5 hours of work. But then I spend five hours yelling at the ai to try to get it to actually solve it. Next day I'll just fix it myself in 2 hours.

    But what you're describing is not that uncommon, even without AI: Oftentimes when trying to solve a complex problem and being unsuccessful you have to reset your brain by doing something fundamentally different or have a good night of sleep and after that you solve the problem easily.

    May what you're experiencing is not AI related at all.

    That sounds a lot like what the studies show. And IMO that sounds like a serious problem.

    I'm really just tricking my brain to think I'm being more productive lmao.

    But then again, some of the stuff I'm working on is in principle quite easy to do, but is also outside of my skillet, for these cases I benefit from using AI.

    IMO the challenge is knowing how and when to use AI. Small companies using AI correctly can probably benefit massively from it. Although it's risky
