> And AI/copilot just helps me write the better code faster. Consider that AI, by necessity, has to be trained on an aggregate of human output. That means that, by definition, the aggregate amount of data that it's trained on will be representative of the "average" solution to any problem. This doesn't mean that I can always do better, but I wouldn't assume that what AI will give me would be "good." Most developers I speak with who are using CoPilot and ChatGPT tell me that they always examine the output and have to "massage" it a little. But I don't see it jiving with my workflow, specifically. In any case, if people find it useful then great! What works for others will not always be what works for me and vice versa.
