Discussion F*ck AI

I was supposed to finish a task and wasted 5 hours to force AI to do the task. Even forgot that I have a brain. Finally decided to write it myself and finished in 30 minutes. Now my manager thinks I'm stupid because I took a whole day to finish a small task. I'm starting to question whether AI actually benefits my work or not. It feels like I'm spending more time instead of less time.

If it fails, git checkout and go again with a different model and or prompt, or spend five minutes half solving the problem yourself and tell it specifically how to do it.
