    Nice. I appreciate actual programmers sharing their actual use cases for AI.

    I want to add my use case here because it mirrors yours, and should get a few laughs.

    I’ve had the same experience writing a quick one use messy script with AI - but it contained a very subtle bug that pretty much wiped out the data I was trying to convert.

    I did have a backup, but it wasn’t particularly recent, so I only lost a couple of days of work.

    I lost my appetite for AI help on full quick scripts, but I still use AI for a line of code here and there.

    I feel like I should use AI more to generate unit tests, the risk/reward is probably better.
