Agreed, I use AI for coding the way I used to use Stack Overflow:
Find me code examples, explain an error or give me some summaries of how something should work but then I go confirm that or test it separately!
I never trusted Stack Overflow for anything more than pointing me in the right direction for what to research. Documentation links, snippets, blogs etc, that sort of stuff. As long as I tell the AI to give me a reference, about 60-70% of the time I’ll get something I can actually use to confirm the code it gave me or get an answer for my question. At best what it does is save me googling time.
