There IS a place for AI as a coding assistant. If used right by someone who COULD write good code from scratch AND who is well-versed in using his AI tools, it could actually save time.

In very limited problem domains, non-AI program-generators and LLM-"AI" program-generators can actually produce usable, correct, reasonably efficient code almost all of the time. But so could a reasonably competent programmer who was an expert in the problem domain.

In any case, using AI is likely to use a lot of electricity.

Old way for a small task an entry-level person could do in 2 weeks solo: a week to design, a few days to code, a few days to unit test

New way - "official/what you tell your boss": a few hours to design/decide what you want the output to look like and rough-draft your prompts a hours to "code"/prompt the AI, including iterations, and a few hours to test the results.

New way - "reality/what you actually do": design? what's that? a few hours to iteratively create prompts until you get output that "feels good," and testing the results - yeah, right, who has time for that?

Sigh.
