Love how the AI hype went from "it's going to write code for you!" to "oh okay, maybe just boring boilerplate" to "it's basically a glorified search" (and it probably won't be great at that, either).

Lot's of people (including me) use co-pilot and chat gpt to save several hours a week, likely > 1 hour a day. It's under hyped.
Yeah, it saves me time + effort, and lets me reach for larger changes than I otherwise would. It acts as a safety net / scaffolding as well as just answering Qs / writing code.
Counter-hype is becoming just about as tiresome as hype. Have you used AI in anger for any of these use cases?
