As a lazy person, I've been using this method for a while now, and I greatly appreciate it. But there are two major flaws:

- the end results usually suck: they either feel incomplete, have a major flaw, or just don't work.

- sometimes, the AI just won't understand what the request was, or it will get stuck on a loop while trying to troubleshoot one bug and causing even more.

I believe that code written by actual reasoning people will be miles better than what a machine can. AI should be used for "au-to-ma-tion", and tasks that one doesn't want to or doesn't like to do, like writing documentation.
