This is where I landed too. Used Cursor for a while before realizing that it was actually slowing me down because the PR cycle took so much longer, due to all the subtle bugs in generated code.
Went back to VSCode with a tuned down Copilot and use the chat or inline prompt for generating specific bits of code.
That's what I was afraid of, I'd never think anyone submitting AI-generated code wouldn't first read it themselves before asking others to review it!
Well yes, but I personally would never submit a PRr I could use the excuse, "sorry, AI wrote those parts, that's why this PR has now bugs than usual".
All that to say that the base of your argument is still correct: AI really isn't saving all that much time since everyone has to proof-read it so much in order to not increase the number of PR bugs from using it in the first place.
What is a "PR cycle"?
