AI only wasted my time. It cannot really solve anything beyond basic StackOverflow questions and it even fails on super simple questions too. So I wasted hours to discover the fact. I work as long as I want in theory, but I try to work 8hr/day, which is expected from me, but of course at least 2hr/day is spent on meetings. Sometimes I don't "work" at all (I mean coding), usually I get around 2-4h to think and code. I'm not worried about layoffs, while I usually don't believe in myself I feel I still have a strong skills that are needed on the market and the worst that can happen is a little smaller salary in another company.

That lines up with my AI experience, too. These days the entirety of my AI experience is sitting on huddles with juniors/intermediates who will type out half a line of code and then wait for Copilot ad infinitum. It can be a bit annoying--just write the code yourself! I think these tools have some time saving applications for writing boilerplate, but I've never been able to use them to actually solve a real problem. ChatGPT feels like an improvement over Copilot but there's still a ways to go. I'm interested to see how Copilot X [1] turns out. Maybe it will be more useful.
