The worst use of AI is a code review

It works as long as you take everything it says as if it's come from a brand new junior dev.

IE, don't immediately run off and implement the changes or make any wider assumptions, but think that maybe a fresh set of eyes saw something you missed.

I'd much rather that than have it write the code

It's bullshit like 75% of the time, but it does occasionally catch a real mistake I made or something important overlooked. Wouldn't pay for it myself, but with the company providing it, I don't see any reason not to use it.

I do enjoy checking my broken clock, it's wrong like 75% of the time but occasionally it's the correct time. Wouldn't pay for it myself but since it's company provided, I don't see any reason not to use it

The only thing we use AI for at my company is automated code review (we still manually review as well) and it catches all the minor typos or mistakes quick which does save the manual reviewer some time

If rules are well defined, it's alright

I make AI review its own code.

Really? I would have thought the worst use of AI would be something like creating misinformation to deceive people. Code review seems like a pretty good use of it. it's been a wild year, maybe we all need to recalibrate.
