"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

Nice. I appreciate actual programmers sharing their actual use cases for AI.
I want to add my use case here because it mirrors yours, and should get a few laughs.
I've had the same experience writing a quick one use messy script with AI - but it contained a very subtle bug that pretty much wiped out the data I was trying to convert.
I did have a backup, but it wasn't particularly recent, so I only lost a couple of days of work.
I lost my appetite for AI help on full quick scripts, but I still use AI for a line of code here and there.
I feel like I should use AI more to generate unit tests, the risk/reward is probably better.
