Am I the only one that could care less about LLM "assistants"?
Edit: I'm sure I just need to experience the right moment with the correct tool... right?
The most success I've had with AI assisted programming was when I found myself having to work with HTML in Python for the first time, and I used ChatGPT to generate sample code for specific things I wanted to do with lxml. It was much, much faster than reading through the crappy docs to properly learn the API.
Unfortunately, I haven't been able to replicate that success with other projects. Unless it's some low hanging fruit/popular library like lxml, ChatGPT tends to hallucinate APIs that don't exist.
EDIT: also, I've tried using AI code generators that integrate into your IDE, but never found them to be that useful. Something like clangd is more consistently helpful, and actually guaranteed to be correct.
I'm quite the opposite, I really dislike them having to ship my code off to another server (especiallly since that might be in the US or Russia). When they haven't even bothered with integrating the cppreference / qt docs (yes I'm on CLion, they have it as well) an AI is not what I'm looking for.
