My experience with AI so far is exactly the opposite. It can help me with finding configurations to set up software packages, with syntax of programming languages that I use only occasionally so am not too familiar with, or it can give suggestions for improvement for code that I have written. It's like having a personal assistant.

But the interesting work: thinking about software architecture, about implementation strategies for large projects, or about finding a good debugging strategy for bugs in large code bases, that work is still for me.



In other words, AI is just a replacement for google search and Stack Overflow, automated and served as an IDE plugin...


Also serves as a manual on steroids, where you can find example of library usage for your problem.


Or a false manual, with wrong or far from optimal examples...


It's such a good manual too, that it will make up entries for whole libraries if they don't exist. So convenient to waste time discovering those cases!
