Generative AI Coding Tools: My Personal Experience

The author shares their personal experience using generative AI coding tools, concluding that they haven't improved their workflow. While AI can generate code quickly, the author finds that thorough code review is necessary to ensure quality and reliability, and this review often takes as long as writing the code itself. Furthermore, AI-generated code lacks contextual understanding and learning capabilities, like an intern with anterograde amnesia, unable to retain knowledge. The author believes that those claiming AI coding tools increase productivity are either lowering quality standards or benefitting from selling AI.
