Yeah, formatting is the only place that I really enjoy using AI. It's great at pumping out blocks of stuff and frequently gets the general idea of what I'm going for with successive variables or tasks. But when you ask it to do complex things it wigs out. Like yesterday when it spit out a regex to look for something within multiple encapsulation chars just fine, but telling it to remove one of the chars it was looking for was impossible, apparently. Spent 5 min doing something I figured out in 2 minutes on a regex test site.
