Conversely, I do not know any developers that use AI instead of google. And considering the horrific garbage it has given me the few times I tried, I’d be worried about what you’re doing with it.


I do use ChatGPT, and while it helped me with things like obscure issues with bash syntax, it hallucinated some CLI tools options often enough that I never trust it with anything important. (And I tried to ask it even fairly easy questions.)

While it works pretty well when I forget some CLI tool option, in cases when some tool does not have an option doing what I want, ChatGPT is worse than useless - instead of telling me that it doesn't know an option doing something exists, it just tries to "think something up".

In the world when the right answer is "no, there is no option doing what you want" even a small amount of time, ChatGPT is actively harmful.


To be fair, googling so many things nowadays will lead you to dogshit blog sites with a million CTA modals and needless prose


You could input your opinions directly into AIs rather than here, all developers I know don't want to read such ludicrous unsubstantiated claims.


You and the developers you know don't encompass all of humanity.
