LLMs can be great for translating pseudo code into real code or creating boiler plate or automating tedious stuff, but ChatGPT is terrible at actual software engineering.
It depends. AI can help writing good code. Or it can write bad code
I’ll give you a hypothetical: a company is to hire someone for coding. They can either hire someone who writes clean code for $20/h, or someone who writes dirty but functioning code using AI for $10/h. What will many companies do?
It depends. AI can help writing good code. Or it can write bad code. It depends on the developer’s goals.

Honestly I just use it for the boilerplate crap.
Fill in that yaml config, write those lua bindings that are just a sequence of lua_pushinteger(L, 1), write the params of my do string kind of stuff.
Saves me a ton of time to think about the actual structure.
