Surprisingly, I've had the opposite effect. Wherein, it has increased my productivity by tenfold and has helped with code review and/or confirming various logic, etc. Although, I wouldn't necessarily take what it tells me as gospel from a recommendation standpoint in terms of my career as a whole. I've definitely caught it numerous times being wrong, but the inaccuracies pale in comparison to what it gets right, imo.
Don't get me wrong, it saved me a ton of time. Just recently I needed some coding help that would probably take me hours of searching. Doesn't mean I'd trust it with advice, that's something entirely different than spitting out code that works half of the time.
When I tried to use it for code-related questions, it straight up made things up that didn't exist.
That's my biggest issue with AI. I've tried using it to help me code and it's a way more often than not. It's great for doing find/replace or guessing what I want a function to do and giving me a skeleton that I can change to do what I want. But anytime I try to do something a bit advanced, it chokes.
Like this week I needed help with a regex match pattern, and it straight up gave me wrong code multiple times in a row. And not even multiple wrong answers, the same goddamned wrong answer 3 or 4 times in a row.
Same here. The most I get out of might be a pointer to a module that could be a better approach, but the code I get from ChatGPT is usually worthless.
I treat it as my water cooler talk, and maybe I'll come away with a few new ideas.
Like rubber duckying?
Exactly!
