"AI" is literally a marketing term for what we used to call algorithms, macros, etc. until very recently. Nothing fundamentally new is happening, just that what was largely confined to businesses and enterprises before has been adapted to become accessible to every man.
>I find myself reaching for AI over docs
I sincerely hope you read the documentation regardless to verify you aren't hallucinating. At best you'll just get the compiler mocking you, at worst you might find yourself responsible for a 737 MAX.

- nottorp 3y agoTrue AI should be like stackoverflow: "How do I do X?". "Are you crazy? You shouldn't do X. Best practices are doing Y, Z and T". Sorry, but you mentioned the LLM understanding intent.
