I’m still yet to find a use-case for AI-generated code in my workflow.

Even when I am building tools that heavily utilize modern AI, I haven’t found it. Recently, I disabled the AI-powered code completion in my IDE because I found that the cognitive load required to evaluate the suggestions it provided was greater and more time consuming than just writing the code I was already going to write anyways.

I don’t know if this is an experience thing or not - I mainly work on a tech stack I have over a decade of experience in - but I just don’t see it.

Others have suggested generating tests with AI but I find that horrifying. Tests are the one thing you should be the most anal about accuracy on compared to anything else in your codebase.
