I admit, at first I didn't trust it, but I've been getting it to spit out more and more complex scripts. I read every single line of code to check for errors, run them in sandboxes first, etc... and they work just fine. Even with all that cross checking it's still an efficiency gain. Can't deny the usefulness of the tool, it's like having a power drill available to drive screws when I've been using a normal screwdriver for years.

I fully agree with people's misgivings though. I only use AI in domains I'm already a subject matter expert or at least know enough not to get in trouble. When people who have no background start throwing stuff out there without an understanding of what it is, it's a recipe for disaster. There is a real risk of bringing up a generation of people who don't know how to actually do anything because of this tech.
