Only to find the “AI” hallucinating functions that won’t work. Or won’t do the thing you were told they do.
Most times it works. When it doesn’t, it’ll still get me 90% of a solution and I can use the manual or other means to finish it. Again a much faster and better approach. I don’t need to spend hours of my time reading manuals that barely touch on the knowledge I need just to bash keys and hope for the best. Plus it’s conversational so it engages other parts of the brain as a learning tool.
These fucking people use a rubber duck for the same thing
So you prefer a “90% solution and then read the manual” to “read the manual anyway”?
