It’s helpful when you want to try to figure out an error or even just write a few lines of boiler plate code quickly without needing to look through library documentation.

Yes. It's also helpful if you're grappling with a new framework and similarly are struggling with a basic error. But more complex issues, AI will usually struggle and introduce questionable design decisions if we lean on it too much.

A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
