    “Using something that you’re not experienced with and haven’t yet worked out how to best integrate into your workflow slows some people down”

    Wow, what an insight! More at 8!

    As I said on this article when it was posted to another instance:

    AI is a tool to use. Like with all tools, there are right ways and wrong ways and inefficient ways and all other ways to use them. You can’t say that they slow people down as a whole just because some people get slowed down.

      I use github copilot as it does speed things up. but you have to keep tight reins on it, but it does work because it sees my code, sees what i’m trying to do, etc. So a good chunk of the time it helps.

      Now something like Claude AI? yeah…no. Claude doesn’t know how to say “I don’t know.” it simply doesn’t. it NEEDS to provide you a solution even if the vast majority of time it’s one it just creates off the top of it’s head. it simply cannot say it doesn’t know. and it’ll get desperate. it’ll provided you with libraries or repos that have been orphaned for years. It’ll make stuff up saying that something can magically do what you’re really looking for when in truth it can’t do that thing at all and was never intended to. As long as it sounds good to Claude, then it must be true. It’s a shit AI and absolutely worthless. I don’t even trust it to simply build out a framework for something.

      Chatgpt? it’s good for providing me with place holder content or bouncing ideas off of. that’s it. like you said they’re simply tools not anything that should be replacements for…well…anything.

      Could they slow people down? I think so but that person has to be an absolute moron or have absolutely zero experience with whatever their trying to get the AI to do.
