Rob Napier - TIL:AI. Thoughts on AI

I use AI a lot for work, pretty much all day every day. I use coding assistants and custom agents I’ve built. I use AI to help code review changes, dig into bugs, and keep track of my projects. I’ve found lots of things it’s very helpful with, and lots of things it’s terrible at. If there’s one thing I have definitely learned: it does not work the way I imagined.

@cocoaphony These anecdotal “I wasn’t sure about AI so I tried myself & I didn’t get cancer, so the anti-AI people are just paranoid” experiences are not as helpful as they seem.

@baldur has written about this in a way that is useful, I think.
