You get used to their quirks. I can more or less predict what Claude/GPT can do faster than me, so I exclusively use them for those scenarios. Implementing it to one's development routine isn't easy though, so I had to trial and error until it made me faster in certain aspects. I can see it being more useful for people who have a good chunk of experience with coding, since you can filter out useless suggestions much faster - ex. give a dump of code, description of a stupid bug, and ask it where the problem might be. If you generally know how things work, you can filter out the "definitely that's not the case" suggestions, it might route you to a definitive answer faster.
