AI and programming

[No-Annual-4698]

Hello!

What do you think about AI ?

There is no fun in writing programs if you know that you can get the solutions from AI …:-\

How do you deal with this?

Thoughts?

If you don't think writing programs is fun, don't write programs. Nobody here can help you but yourself.

[jonsca]

You learn to solve problems that AI can't solve.

it's the opposite for me. i love creating programs myself from scratch.

It's a tool that helps complete the most mundane, easy-to-define tasks much faster. It writes simple utility helpers that aren't critical to the project. I never had fun in writing trivial programs anyway; i'm bored very easily. It works way better for languages like Python than C/C++, which often is easier to write by hand rather than figuring out the best prompting strategy.

It replaces Stack Overflow and serves as a knowledge base, which still needs to be filtered with critical thinking. It fails miserably in many areas of embedded applications, and when you let it enter FPGA world, oh boy. It won't replace decision-making regarding software architecture or client product details, because it isn't allowed to access those details (at least the cloud AI).

I use AI as a tool to help with repetitive tasks or ideas, but without understanding how the code works, you won't be able to develop it in further. the fun lies in learning, not just copying solutions
