So I tried an AI thing to generate some VHDL, just for curiosity.
I asked it to generate a delta sigma DAC, which it did and it worked, but aside from a few changes to names it was pretty much the same as I had written before.
I asked it to generate an ADSR with exponential curves, oh dear, what a mess. I ended up rewriting 90% of it.

My thoughts are that I do these things because I want to learn and make stuff. AI may help you make stuff, but it won’t help you learn.

@PaulaMaddox it's worse. I recently saw a study that using AI actually decreases persistence in learning new skills, and also reading comprehension. And this effect is apparently measurable after only 10 minutes (!) of AI use.

So not only does AI not help you learn, it actually diminishes your ability to learn.
