That’s not been my experience with it. I’m a software engineer and when I ask it stuff it usually gives plausible answers but there is always something wrong. For example it will recommend old outdated libraries or patterns that look like they would work but when you try them out you figure out they are setup differently now or didn’t even exist.
I have been using windsurf to code recently and I’m liking that but it makes some weird choices sometimes and it is way too eager to code so it spits out a ton of code you need to review. It would be easy to get it to generate a bunch of spaghetti code that works mostly that’s not maintainable by a person out of the box.
My main experience with AI is that the pull requests I’ve reviewed have got at least twice as large, and I need to review the code much, much more carefully.

Yeah you just trade fun coding time for boring code reviews haha
