    I’ve yet to use AI in my workflows. Nothing against it, but I haven’t seen the value beyond maybe boilerplate code, in which case I prefer the tried-and-true copy, paste, and modify. Why have AI do that and introduce its own mistakes?

    I have noticed younger developers using AI and sometimes I’ve had to help them with the mistakes it makes. It’ll just come up with modules and function calls that don’t exist. Felt like it was less precise version of stack overflow with less context awareness. Programmers that were too dependent on stack overflow were already coming up with poorly mashed together code and this may just be a more “efficient” version of that.
