Four months ago I asked if and how people used AI here in this community (https://lemmy.world/post/37760851).

Many people said that didn’t use it, or used only for consulting a few times.

But in those 4 months AIs evolved a lot, so I wonder, is there people who still don’t use AI daily for programming?

    I use it for scripts or for esoteric error messages or problems I’m having in my dev environment.
    I can’t be bothered to understand a specific error message that I’ve never seen before because of an update or whatever.
    So getting it to explain errors to me is handy.
    I always review the LLMs process and the resulting changes it suggests (including searching what it’s done if I don’t get it).
    It’s essentially a context-aware search engine.

    Actual coding and problem solving? I enjoy that.
