If so, I'd like to know about that questions:

  • Do you use an code autocomplete AI or type in a chat?
  • Do you consider environment damage that use of AIs can cause?
  • What type of AI do you use?
  • Usually, what do you ask AIs to do?

I use the Jetbrains AI Chat with Claude and the AI autocomplete. I mostly use the AI as a rubber duck when I need to work through a problem. I don't trust the AI to write my code, but I find it very useful for bouncing ideas off of and getting suggestions on things I might have missed. I've also found it useful for checking my code quality but it's important to not just accept everything it tells you.
