You're not doing it right if you're just straight up using whatever ChatGPT gives you. Use it to get the bulk of the code, edit it to work and follow project standards, then use it. CoPilot has certainly improved my productivity. There is a cost though. I am nowhere near as good as writing code from scratch as I was a year ago, because I haven't done it in around that long.
Exactly, it's so rare to actually see anyone using it who knows how to use it as a tool rather than a magic do everything machine
I guess programmers are just idiots on average then huh.
Not in my experience. Quite the opposite, actually.
So why are they not on average experiencing an efficiency increase by using AI?
I don’t know. Probably because it’s a new tool, and they haven’t learned its limitations yet.
