The discussion also touched on the use of AI in non-coding tasks such as writing emails, providing travel advice, and offering emotional support. Some users mentioned using AI to get quick answers, while others shared how AI helped them set up their companies by providing advice on corporate, tax, legal, and banking matters. Despite the positive experiences, some users raised concerns about the potential impact of AI on team dynamics and interpersonal communication.
Key takeaways:
- ChatGPT and Copilot are AI tools that can assist with coding tasks, including generating boilerplate code, finding bugs, and rewriting code for clarity.
- Some users find these tools particularly helpful for working with languages or legacy code they don't use often, or for generating code based on examples.
- However, some users have found that the time spent debugging the code generated by the AI can be almost as long as writing the code themselves.
- Despite some drawbacks, many users find these tools save them time and effort, and can even assist with tasks outside of coding, such as generating presentations or providing advice.
