So... AI. You know, that ChatGPT guy and its colleagues.
There's quite a few things that I do think these helpers (because that's what they are) should not be used for, and I am not too happy about how some of them were trained. (Yes, I'm looking at you, illegal use of books for training, without informing or paying the authors.)
However... for some things, AI assistance can be really nice. A two-liner just helped me fix a website problem that I had, and my only complaint is that I should have done that earlier, as it would have saved me quite a bit of reading help files and trying to figure out what to do that needs to be done.
My problem with code is that I can understand what I'd need to do from reading the help files, but I lack the basic knowledge to know what environment I need to do it. So... yeah. That's a slightly awkward place to get stuck in, by the way.
In this case, it was integrating a font in a special way - and my workaround only worked halfway, because one of the commands in the workaround just refused to do what it was supposed to do. Enter the Most Patient Husband of Them All, who let me explain the problem, tried to see if there was anything I had overlooked (yes, he did, but while that would have prevented the best code from running, it did not solve the non-existing sufficient code problem)... and then, as I was about to let it rest because I had already lost way more time than intended, he casually said something like "and this is actually where AI can be a real help, you tell it to write a php-file for you to do the job you need done, and then you only have to check if it's all okay and correct". Well. I can check code, I just can't write it.
So, five minutes or so later... problem solved.
(Another use that can be a real help, by the way, is translating chunks of text. You will still have to check to see if it's not weirdly wrong at some points, but it saves my dictionaries from a lot of wear and tear.)
And now I can try to actually get some other things done!
