If my work involves doing a bit of tooling and improve the testing and documenting them, I find myself having much lesser resistance and I'm rather happy to give it off to an AI agent.
I haven't begun doing side projects or projects for self, yet. But I did go down the road of finding out what would be needed to do something I wished existed. It was much easier to explore and understand the components and I might have a decent chance at a prototype.
The alternative to this would have been to ask people around or formulate extensively researched questions for online forums, where I'd expect to get half cryptic answers (and a jibe at my ignorance every now and then) at a pace that I would take years before I had something ready.
I see the point for AI as a prototyping and brainstorming tool. But I doubt we are at a point where I would be comfortable pushing changes to a production environment without giving 3x the effort in reviewing. Since there's a chance of the system hallucinating, I have a genuine fear that it would seem accurate, but what it would do is something really really stupid.
