Unfortunately very true ๐ญ
It's great for getting off the ground in a language you're unfamiliar with. But a recipe for technical debt when used long term. You're inviting spaghetti code with some real hair pulling bugs.
Well sure, but it's also good to give you a rundown on various patterns and options. Like any tool it's only as good as the wielder
Unfortunately, the people pushing AI are the same ones selling recreational flamethrowers
Most tools aren't actively detrimental to use, though. It's like a hammer where the handle is covered in spikes. Even if you're a genius and know how to hold it without cutting your hand, most people would just use a different hammer. And I'm not going to let that toolsmith off the hook, either.
