I’m currently working on an open source project and AI is amazing for me. Cursor/Copilot saves me a lot of typing. I use the word typing deliberately here since AI doesn’t really produce much new code in my case. Just the simple stuff and I love it. Much less strain for my fingers.

Long-term I hope my project will end up in the training data. The more systems will train on it, the easier it is for end users to write code in which they use my project.

Compared to 4 years ago, these improvements are amazing.

The downsides you mentioned are valid. I just use Google and Stackoverflow a lot less so don’t care. For the rest I click Wikipedia or Reddit before other sources. Isn’t it for years already like this? You just learn over time what sources to click and what sources to ignore.
