Using AI to automate super tedious and repetitive tasks is great and everybody should start doing it
Yeah, there's many times I type "class for:" followed by a a dump of SQL, JSON, XML or whatever and it'll make a class with properties named correctly with the right types. I still have to figure out tricky data relationships and that sort of thing, but the boring tasks of creating interfaces to databases and objects for serializing stuff goes a lot faster now.
So a much larger percentage of my time is devoted to solving problems rather than doing all the boring grunt work usually involved with getting data in and out of the app.
God I must be an idiot. I was trying to design my own db for simple flash cards with multiple tags, where tags can be stacked with each other to auto build flash card decks. Even with chatgpt helping me build out the interfaces and some functions I was not getting the functionality I wanted at all.
Yeah current gen AI is still very much a human tool - an assistant - maybe a companion if you stretch it to it's edge. I for one welcome a personal AI buddy
