Even if I ask AI for how to do a process it will frequently respond with answers for the wrong version, even though I gave the version, parameters that don’t work, hand waving answers that are useless, etc.
I find it’s the most useful when asking it for small snippets of code or dealing with boilerplate stuff. Anything more complicated usually results in something broken.
Given that even stack overflow is being mostly answered by AI, don’t expect that to actually get better, unless you’re counting on sensitive coding data being “legally” siphoned from AI users
yeah, there are many things its easier to just give up having the ai do it. even if you somehow succeed it will likely be such mess it gives you its not worth it
AI mostly seems useful when you don’t know a specific concept and just need the base ideas. That said, given it’s often confidently wrong and doesn’t involve humans actively steering you toward better ideas, I still find Stack Overflow more helpful. Sometimes the answer to your problem is to stop doing what you are trying to do and attack the problem from a different angle.
yeah, though for questions people on stackoverflow would consider stupid or beneath them, ai was superior as it never gets angry with you.
How i see the ai is kind of like being able to ask the knowledge it consists of questions. But since it has also been fed with garbage and its all there like ingredients of a soup, who knows what affects what so you really dont want to trust it too much.

give it a few more years
Yeah, like bitcoins, NFTs, and Tesla driving themselves.
Bitcoins are there, aren’t they?
Yes, still a scam and still useless for most people. We’ve been waiting forever, maybe like AI.

I also find it is best when I’m very specific and give as many identifiers as possible. App name, version, OS, quoted error code, etc.
