- _lvbh 3y agoI disagree on that. I find that the people that usually use AI to code don’t actually know what they’re doing. Of course there are exceptions but you really shouldn’t use AI for anything other than autocomplete
- sebastianconcpt 3y agoDon't you use Google to "show me an example of doing X with Y" so you can rely on not having to remember spurious technicalities and stay focused on the structure of what you're building? Using AI should be more or less an improved version of that and forcing to not use it at all is like asking an architect to be the building worker actually building every bit.
- _lvbh 3y agoThe solution at the top of Google tends to be correct. I would need to verify on Google whether that GPT-4 was giving me is correct or not at least 50% of the time. The stuff I usually tinker with are perhaps too niched to have GPT-4 reliably respond so I still fall back to documentation or just the library source code if documentation doesn’t exist.
