If so, I’d like to know about that questions: - Do you use an code autocomplete AI or type in a chat? - Do you consider environment damage that use of AIs can cause? - What type of AI do you use? - Usually, what do you ask AIs to do?
My colleague uses it to generate rambling code, often pointlessly rewriting existing logic to solve all kinds of hallucinated problems, which he doesn’t understand a bit, then dumps it on me and acts offended when asked to explain any of it.
I don’t use AI when I’m learning a new system, framework or language because I won’t actually learn it.
I don’t use AI when I need to make a small change on a system I know well, because I can make it just as fast and have better insight into how it all works.
I don’t use AI when I’m developing a new system because I want to understand how it works and writing the code helps me refine my ideas.
I don’t use AI when I’m working on something with security or copyright concerns.
Basically, the only time I use AI is when I’m making a quick throw away script in a language I’m not fluent in.
Sparingly. I use chatgpt to help with syntax and idioms when learning new languages. And sometimes I use it to help determine the best algorithm to use for a general problem. Other times I feed in working code and ask for improvements like a mini code review
The only time I had it code something from scratch for me was when I wanted some Vimscript and I didn’t want to learn it. I tried the same thing with jq and it failed and I had to learn me some jq.
I hate popups in editors in general (no intellisense for me), so I lothe AI trying to auto complete my code.
