If I'm going to use AI for something, I want it to be right more often than I am, not just as often!
It actually doesn't have to be. For example the way I use Github Copilot is I give it a code snippet to generate and if it's wrong I just write a bit more code and the it usually gets it right after 2-3 iterations and it still saves me time.
The trick is you should be able to quickly determine if the code is what you want which means you need to have a bit of experience under your belt, so AI is pretty useless if not actively harmful for junior devs.
Overall it's a good tool if you can get your company to shell out $20 a month for it, not sure if I'd pay it out of my own pocket tho.
It... it was a joke. I was implying that 52% was better than me.
Ah ok I guess I misread that. My point is that by itself it's not gonna help you write either better or shittier code than you already do.
