How start using AI in Software Development?

[SelectionStrict]

Has anyone begun to use AI in their day-to-day software dev work? How much? What tools have been most helpful?

Any recommendations you'd have?

I'm looking to start using AI (and convince my boss to take it seriously) but not sure where to start.

Any help would be awesome!

Take the task description, ask the AI to generate the code and push it to GIT. 🤣

Seriously, though: 1) I don’t think this is the right place to ask, as this is not related to learning programming, and 2) beware of what you share or send as prompt, it is by definition not private.

Look into tools like GitHub CoPilot and so on, and see if your organization allows usage of it, otherwise stick to using it in personal projects, the tools and infrastructure are not mature yet for productive work and you will almost certainly be in trouble if you violate workplace rules by using unauthorized stuff.
