How useful is AI in Dev..Like Really?
I’ve been debating this topic with people on X, and I’m stuck between whether AI is as amazing as some say or if it’s actually useful for productivity. I’ve had minimal benefits from using AI in coding so far, but I spoke with an experienced dev who mentioned that he uses AI to "sculpt" his work. To be honest, this sounded like complete BS to me, but as a relative novice, I’d love to hear feedback from others. Maybe it’s more useful for experienced devs, but it’s strange how so many seasoned developers seem to dislike AI. Also, I don’t know if anyone saw, but the CEO of Shopify said yesterday that employees need to prove AI can’t do their job before asking for additional staff. If this is the direction we're headed, I’m concerned, for humanity to say the least.
