    If people aren’t getting anything out of llms they’re using them wrong.

    If you blindly copy paste code you don’t understand from chatgpt there’s obviously a problem

    Get it to generate single functions at a time with the requirements clearly defined and then actually read over the code and it’s an amazing tool

      I like built-in AI autocomplete more than an actual AI chat. It’s amazing at filling in code that is really obvious so I don’t have to type it myself. Anything even remotely complex will be subtly wrong though, so it’s only good for reducing tedium.

        Exactly. It’s good at generating anything you know well enough that you’ll instantly spot the errors, but it shouldn’t be used for anything you aren’t fully comfortable with doing by hand
