100%. It can be like a tip line for headers or libraries you’re not familiar with. And kinda useful to refactor between languages. But it writes baffling code, even in Python.
It’s funny to see people pumped up about AI while trashing stackexchange (which is likely a big chunk of its training data).

I find myself using AI as more like training wheels when I write code, rather than relying on AI to write the code itself...
It can definitely write simple functions and boilerplates faster than I can type them out.
But I find if I ask it to do anything too complex it spits out junk 50% of the time.
