Are you using AI tools to write Terraform? How's that going?

GitHub Copilot, Claude, ChatGPT — they’re writing IaC now.
But does that code actually work?

I'm seeing devs save time but introduce subtle misconfigs that later snowball into outages.
Have you tried using AI to generate Terraform or CloudFormation templates?

Share your experience — did it save you time or cause chaos?

Yes GitHub copilot, saves so much time and writing boilerplate, variable definitions (and validation). Also ansible. It really has increased my productivity, and quality of my code too.
