    If you already know what you’re doing, AI generating code is redundant. If you don’t know what you’re doing, it might work for you, up to the point you’re spending all your time debugging hallucinatory code.

    The bigger issue I see is that it also results in less experienced ciders creating code that might work, but that they don’t understand.
