I don’t know about right/wrong. You need to use the tools that make you productive. I personally find that in my work there are dozens of little scripts or helper functions that accelerate my work. However I usually don’t write them because I don’t have the time. AI can generate these little scripts very consistently. That accelerates my work. Perhaps just start simple.

Instead of generating, exporting or copy pasting just seems more reliable to me and also takes very little time.

I think what matters most is just what you're working on. It's great for crud or working with public APIs with lots of examples.

For everything else, AI has been a net loss for me.

People who write things like this can't expect to be taken seriously.

Before AI you didn't have time to write things that saved you time? So you just ended up spending (wasting) more time by going the long way? That was a better choice than just doing the thing that would have saved you time?
