    Explain this too me AI. Reads back exactly what’s on the screen including comments somehow with more words but less information Ok…

    Ok, this is tricky. AI, can you do this refactoring so I don’t have to keep track of everything. No… Thats all wrong… Yeah I know it’s complicated, that’s why I wanted it refactored. No you can’t do that… fuck now I can either toss all your changes and do it myself or spend the next 3 hours rewriting it.

    Yeah I struggle to find how anyone finds this garbage useful.

      If you give it the right task, it’s super helpful. But you can’t ask it to write anything with any real complexity.

      Where it thrives is being given pseudo code for something simple and asking for the specific language code for it. Or translate between two languages.

      That’s… about it. And even that it fucks up.

      I have asked questions, had conversations for company and generated images for role playing with AI.

      I’ve been happy with it, so far.

        That’s kind of outside the software development discussion but glad you’re enjoying it.

          As a developer

          • I can jot down a bunch of notes and have ai turn it into a reasonable presentation or documentation or proposal
          • zoom has an ai agent which is pretty good about summarizing a meeting. It usually just needs minor corrections and you can send it out much faster than taking notes
          • for coding I mostly use ai like autocomplete. Sometimes it’s able to autocomplete entire code blocks
          • for something new I might have ai generate a class or something, and use it as a first draft where I then make it work
