That's the thing, I'm not actually sure it does help someone work faster if everything it suggests needs to be fact-checked whilst under the guise of being always confident and never knowing it is wrong.

A lot of people liken AI to having a junior role working with you, but most junior positions have been to university and have a pretty solid understanding of a field in the first place. I wouldn't have a junior role hallucinating things that don't exist on a regular basis.

The speed of generating an output is only as meaningful as how consistently correct and appropriate that output is in terms of its value. I remain unconvinced.

If you don't do your job because you blindly accepted advice from a confident AI, a confident senior engineer, or a confident application note, then you might not have that job for much longer.

I don't know if it will make you personally work faster or not, that's your business to sort out.
