Its wild hallucinations and overconfident falsehoods rub me the wrong way.

I am cautiously optimistic about AI, but not only does it cheapen the dev experience and suck all my enjoyment out of coding, but it also is far too unreliable at this point. It’s a swarm of ADHD juniors with goldfish memories and hopped up on acid and magic mushrooms. It takes more energy and effort for me to get it to produce minimally acceptable output than the energy and effort I need to produce superior output entirely on my own. And my objective is not slop at high speed. It’s quality work at lower effort. That’s something that is beyond the capabilities of AI at this point.
