I feel like AI for programming has been so overhyped. I've attempted to use ChatGPT for programming so many times, and almost every time it's just wasted my time. Giving me outright lies or generating stuff that looks right but doesn't work. And just throwing out it's answer and starting from scratch is faster than fixing its output.

I've only found it useful for explaining basic terminology or concepts for a topic I'm not familiar with. Though this is the most dangerous use case since I'm not familiar with the answer, I can't easily fact check it.
