Contrary to popular belief, AI isn’t very good at actually doing things such as a coding or writing for you at a very high level. What it is really good for is as a launch pad that accelerates the process of you being able to do it yourself; which will make for better results in general. Instead of telling it to fix your problem, ask it to point you in the right direction and towards the right resources. The extra time you spend by not just copying what it hands you is made up for in quality, and you’ll likely save even more time the second it’s time to maintain or improve the thing since you actually understand it.
