Yes there are mistakes, but if you direct it to the right direction, it can give you correct answers
In my experience, if you have the necessary skills to point it at the right direction, you don't need to use it at the first place
it's just a convenience, not a magic wand. Sure relying on AI blindly and exclusively is a horrible idea (that lots of people peddle and quite a few suckers buy), but there's room for a supervised and careful use of AI, same as we started using google instead of manpages and (grudgingly, for the older of us) tolerated the addition of syntax highlighting and even some code completion to all but the most basic text editors.
AI is a tool, not a solution.
Yesterday, I wrote all of this, working javascript code https://github.com/igorlogius/gather-from-tabs/discussions/8 And I don't know a lick of javascript I know other languages but that barely was needed. I just gave it plain language instructions and reported the errors until it worked.
Bruh, where in my comment did I tell people not to use it?
Bad reading comprehension is bad.
"you don't need to use it" ≠ "do not use it"

It can, it also sometimes can't unless you ask it "could it be x answer"
