      Software developers use it a lot and here you are using a software so I’m wondering what do you consider important work

      What a strange take. People who know how to use AI effectively don’t do important work? Really? That’s your wisdom of the day? This place is for a civil discussion, read the rules.

        As a general rule, where quality of output is important, AI is mostly useless. (There are a few notable exceptions, like transcription for instance.)

          As a general rule, where quality of output is important, AI is mostly useless.

          Your experience with AI clearly doesn’t go beyond basic conversations. This is unfortunate because you’re arguing about things you have virtually no knowledge of. You don’t know how to use AI to your own benefit, nor do you understand how others use it. All this information is just a few clicks away as professionals in many fields use AI today, and you can find many public talks and lectures on YouTube where they describe their experiences. But you must hate it simply because it’s trendy in some circles.

          Tell me you have no knowledge of AI (or LLMs) without telling me you have no knowledge.

          Why do you think people post LLM output without reading through it when they want quality?

          Do you also publish your first draft?

      Suppose that may be it. I mostly do bug fixing; so out of thousands of files I need to debug to find the one-line change that will preserve business logic while fixing the one case people have issues with.

      In my experience, building a new thing from scratch, warts and all, has never really been all that hard by comparison. Problem definition (what you describe to the AI) is often the hard part, and then many rounds of bugfixing and refinement are the next part.
