Is it? Isn't the inverse? The speed of your cuts is improved with AI a bit, but aren't the cuts all rough and need additional work? Isn't the quality less than what you would do by hand?

Because that's what every AI usage I've experienced has been.

Faster, yes. Useful, yes. Not better "finish".

Nah I get better results in the end with a clanker helping me. I specify down to interfaces and stuff, I only let the bot put the functional code in, then I review it. I find AI coding tools are a real benefit for me and my quality. Not so much speed, I would say a project takes at least the same amount of time, or more, than before I used AI tools. I can talk more about it if you’re curious, maybe I should record a session so people can see how you’re supposed to use AI coding agents.
