But, AI is fantastic for grunt work and finding hidden bugs. It's like snubbing a tractor because hand plows give you bigger muscles. It's idiotic unless it's nothing more than a hobby. Use your mind/time on better problems.

I tried to use AI and it always sends me in the wrong direction. It is just webscraping aka stolen work. Why you such a cuck?

I've given up on avoiding ai at this point

I installed deep seek on my phone and asked iy some questions based on what ive been working on, and in ten minutes it gave me information i'd worked out over three weeks

And this was a debug session from hell, enormously helped by an AI doing much of the grunt-work.

i feel this in my soul since i'm the only one responsible for an abandoned code base with only a part time fresh graduate too inexperienced to help -- i've lost track of the number of rabbit holes that would have been impossible without gemini.
