My regular, daily experience with 'AI':

'How do I do [X thing I need to accomplish in codebase]?'

"Here is here how you would do that."

Then I apply the code and it's broken and doesn't work.

'The code you supplied is broken because of [xyz], can you fix it?'

"Of course, you're so right! My apologies. Here is the corrected code."

It still doesn't work. Repeat this about 2-3 more times and throw in me deleting the entire chat window and context and trying again in a new chat with slightly different phrasing of question to maybe get it to output the right answer this time, which it often doesn't.

I hate it. It's awful and terrible. Fundamentally, this technology will never not be terrible, because it is just predicting text tokens based off of probabilistic statistics.
