Nobody said AI isn’t useful.

The hype is that AI isn’t a tool but the developer.

    I've seen a lot of developers that are absolute tools. But I've yet to see such a succinct use of AI. Kudos to the author.

      Exactly, kudos to the author because AI didn’t came up with that.

      But that’s what they sell, that AI could do what the author did with AI.

      The question is, is it worth to put all that money and energy in AI. MS sacrificed its CO2 goals for email summaries and better autocomplete not to mention all the useless things we do with AI

        Can you give an example of what you meant here? The author did use AI. What does "AI coming up with that" mean?

      Doesn’t claim it isn’t useful just it’s not as useful as they thought.

      For instance to me AI is useful because I don’t have to write boilerplate code but that’s rarely the case. For other things it still useful to write code but I am not faster because the time I save writing the code I need to fix the prompt, audit and fix the code.
