> AI automates lots of unpleasant manual work. Github Copilot is a great example of this IMO. When you're writing code it seems to be on a 90/10 of 80/20 split where 10-20% of your code is the actual important bits that you have to pay attention to and the other 80-90% is all the common patterns, components and conventions around the important code. AI is fantastic for the 80-90% of that code that I really don't care about. I can focus my energy on the 10-20% of the code that is really important and let the AI code the other 80-90% that is mostly glue and filler.
