I used AI at work the other day… I’d just pasted something into a browser and realised I need to do a load of text manipulation. Rather than copy it out to vim, process it there and then back in, I just told the AI to do it.
EDIT: funny how this got downvoted. What exactly do people think they’re downvoting?
Yeah I use it to bypass advertising when looking up obscure coding problems. But I think the point is I’d never pay a penny (see what I did there?) to use it. It’s nice and helps some places but I think monetizing the billions spent is the challenge / impossible. Plus people at my work have copilot fatigue. It’s been integrated in such a clumsy distracting way. Actually adding negative value now.
I’m way too afraid of having our codebase ripped by these shucksters to use those in-IDE ones, and good open models are still too big to be run locally.

truly the industry is saved
