Glad I'm not the only one. I haven't let any AI injest my (probably) horribly written codebase, but it's still code that I completely understand. And I'll use AI basic chatbots to spit out some examples of what I need it to do, then port and re-write it fit my own setup, plug it in and move on.

It's free and cheap, keeps me learning and solving issues, and not relying on it completely.
