Fuck AI

I use Generative AI at work because I know it's being tracked. I've offered examples and suggestions about things I've done with it.

I've then outright referred to it as the World's Worst Intern. Sometimes it does the right thing, but you always have to check. Sometimes it says it's going to do the right thing, but actually does something different. Sometimes it does completely the wrong thing.

So I have it do the things that I can do -- rote steps, easy changes I can explain faster than I can type, bulk renames or code cleanup that the compiler can validate -- but not the things I don't know if I can do. I trust the compiler, I don't trust the code it wrote. I'll use it to write the first draft of documentation based on the steps I took, but I'm editing it and expanding it.

It's not smart. It's not intelligent. It can kind of do things as long as you're willing to let it flail for a while or to spend the time checking it's work. It's the World's Worst Intern.
