    I use claude to ask it coding questions. I don’t use it to generate my code; I mostly use it to do a kind of automated code review to look for obvious pitfalls. It’s pretty neat for that

    I don’t use any other AI-powered products. I don’t let it generate emails, I don’t let it analyze data. If your site comes with a built in LLM powered feature, I assume

    1. It sucks
    2. You are a con artist

    AI is the new Crypto. If you are vaguely associated with it, I assume there’s something criminal going on

      I use AI to script code.

      For my minecraft server.

      I rely on expert humans to do tech work for my team and their tools.

      I am not anti-AI per-say, I just know what works best and what leads to best results.

      Same here, especially when I’m working with plain JS. Just yesterday I was doing some benchmarking and it fixed a variable reference in my code unprompted by commenting the small fix as part of the answer when I asked it something else. I copy-pasted and it worked perfectly. It’s great for small scope stuff like that.

      But then again, I had to turn off Codeium that same day when writing documentation because it kept giving me useless and distracting, paragraph-long suggestions restating the obvious. I know it’s not meant for that, but jeez, it reminded me so much of Bing’s awfully distracting autocomplete.

      I’ve never felt this sort of technology before that, when it works, it feels like you’re gliding on ice, and when it doesn’t, it feels like ice skating on a dirt road.
