No it didn’t. AI consistently writes junk code that takes longer to fix than if you wrote by yourself.

I’ve been skeptical of ai, we’re getting it pushed on us at work constantly, but with the latest iterations, I’ve seen what I feel is an inflection point in terms of producing good results and understanding more context than I ever provided it with and than I ever would have expected.

With access to the expensive models, you get something that produces good reliable results for the most part. I don’t know how I’ll continue a career in this field at this point.
