With copilot included in Professional-grade Office 365 and some politician claiming that their government should use AI to be more efficient. I am curious on whether some of you did use “AI” to get some productive things done. Or if it’s still mostly a toy for you.
- When I’m stuck in debugging and can’t think of what can go wrong, LLM chats are quite useful. I can ask for possibilities and often I find something meaningful that didn’t come to mind. These kind of things are hard to do with search engines. (If I’m debugging something unfamiliar this becomes very counterproductive though, as I can’t filter hallucinations by looking).
- A smart text formatter
- Simple bash one liner, boilerplate code generation. I tried it but non trivial/bit longer code generation again gets effectively slower as I find myself fixing/working around AI mistake quite often.
