as my father said before, whatever time you make up using generative AI is time being used to fix it's bugs. the ratio isn't a linear progression, were comparing a linear to exponential duration respectively. since whatever time you made up in generating code is now being used to debug it and researching the design. you're doing twice as much work as you would have if you had done the research and initial design beforehand.

instead of letting AI do the fun stuff, that is, the initial design of the program, let yourself do that. When you are done with the initial design (if any bugs show up) you can give AI to debug any code that may cause arbitrarily obscure behavior.

you want to make AI your bitch, not the other way around.

I still wouldn't use AI, like ever, from the profiling of users to the environmental impact, the industry is unethical. but that's my philosophy. Point is don't let AI control you and make you redundant, make it your bitch -- make it do the tedious tasks.
