I've found that AI is only good at solving programming problems that are relatively "small picture" — or if it has to do with the basics of a language — anything else that it provides a solution for you will have to re-write completely once you consult with the language's standards and best practices.

    Well, I recently did kind of an experiment, writing a kid game in Kotlin without ever using it. And it was surprisingly easy to do. I guess it helps that I'm fluent in ~5 other programming languages because I could tell what looked obviously wrong.

    My conclusion kinda is that it's a really great help if you know programming in general.
