So your programmers know every ffmpg command by heart, never forget regex syntax for any dialect, etc? Do they never make mistakes and never ask for help locating them? These sound like mighty fine programmers.

  There exist quite many programmers who concentrate much more on a single technology stack which they spent a lot more time learning. The given examples where AI might be useful are much more helpful if you have a rather shallow knowledge of the technology that you use (for example if you switch the technology stack very often).

Your comment suggests perhaps you are not a programmer. This is what programmers do all day - ask questions like this, solve problems like this and implement functions like this. As I said: "The point is not that a developer does not know how to do a given task, the point is that certain programming tasks are just hack work- it's a waste of time to be hand coding them - let the AI write a first pass for you and debug it and move on to the next thing."

  Almost all of your queries are simple google/documentation/“ffmpeg -h” lookups. AI doesn’t do anything here but add uncertainty whether the information is correct. Anyway, I don’t think you understand what costs programmer time. The tasks you mention do not cost them hours, they don’t even add up to hours. fwiw I am a programmer, e.g. I have almost 3 decades of experience in c++, which, according to your submission history, you just started learning? Nothing wrong with that, but then I’m not sure why you speak like an authority in programming by denigrating others’ ability and making hiring/firing recommendations.

    You haven't done anything substantial with ffmpeg, have you?

      Considering that your tone is consistently hostile, I don’t want to engage with you anymore. For your consideration, you probably alienate a lot of people/talent in real life, too. And again “fwiw” as a teen I used to translate and distribute Japanese dramas that wouldn’t see a release elsewhere. I don’t think you care though, and just try to denigrate again.
