I’m a beginner developer, and there have been so many times where AI has helped me understand something in 10 minutes that would’ve taken me an hour of searching through random blog posts. At the same time, it’s also confidently given me code that just… doesn’t work
.
So I’ve kind of stopped treating it like an expert and started treating it like a coworker. It’s great for brainstorming, explaining concepts, or pointing me in the right direction, but I still verify things before I use them.
Lately I’ve also been looking into automation more than AI itself. Even simple things like automatically sending emails, organizing files, or handling repetitive tasks seem way more useful in day-to-day work than asking an AI to do everything.
Just wondering how everyone else is using it.
Has AI actually made your work easier, or do you find yourself spending just as much time fixing its mistakes?
