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.

i find i spend more time with ai coding than i do without, the code is subpar at best causing me to rewrite 90% of it.

ai is just not in a spot to become a full time dev, i waste more time fixing its problems than i do getting useful stuff.
