It can write really buggy Python code, so... Yeah, seems promising

It does a frequently shitty job of writing docstrings for simple functions, too!

Almost like dealing with real engineers…

It does great with common code patterns that it can just drop in place. 99.9% Artificial, 0.01% intelligence.

When I last tried to let some AI write actual code, it didn't even compile 🙂 And another time when it actually compiled it was trash anyway and I had to spend as much time fixing it, as I would have spent writing it myself in the first place.

So far I can only use AI as a glorified search engine 😅
