I agree. But I believe I need to do more baby sitting on a greenfield project than an existing project. "garbage in, garbage out" applies at every step.

As soon as I realize that it was AI generated, I stop reading. If I am on social media, I also unfollow the account that posted it. There is also a great blog post on this. [1] There is also one other point. To me, everything that comes from an AI needs verification. It goes to a grey area in my mind. It is neither true nor false which makes it very hard for me to learn from AI as well.

Thanks

You are absolutely right! :)

I was heavily using AI for my blog/social media posts. Then I realized I lost my “voice”.

Also as a reader, I started having a habit of stopping halfway through an article if I realize that it was generated by AI.

Now I am only using to check my grammar, since I am a non-native speaker.


Cursor $20 subscription is also very good. auto is usually decent. I use composer 2 for heavy tasks and it does good job. If I need some UI polish, I switch to gemini 3.1 pro. The trick is to stay at auto/composer 2. But if you try to use other premium models too much, then you’ll hit the limit as well.


Interesting though I am actually looking for something that I can use from my mobile phone like an app maybe ?


I felt that too, when I first used cursor/claude code, it was awesome and I just wanted keep building, the dopamine hit after shipping is really good. But later, when I needed to inspect the code manually, and I realized there were a lot of trash/dead/unoptimized code. I started drowning in the mess I generated. It is good until you need manual changes.


I think there are people connecting their emails to clean up stuff, auto-reply etc.


I currently use it for 3 things, all of them are cron jobs that runs in the morning.

1- Check hacker news for AI related news and compile a digest 2- Check new YC companies in the P26 batch 3- Check ladybird and summarize the commits in the last 24 hour.


LoL. So funny! Tbh, my L*nkedIn feed is full of this kinda crappy posts. I tried to fight the algorithm, unfollowed people etc. But I think there is no way of winning.
