		finalhacker 9 months ago \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: The hidden cost of AI coding When I coding, most of time was used to search docs over internet. My first language is not english, search over hundrud of pages is quiet slow. AI help me a lot, you don't need search, just ask AI, and it provide the answer directly. After using AI, I have more time used on coding, more fun.

I am mostly pretty underwhelmed with LLMs' code, but this is a use-case that makes perfect sense to me, and seems like a net-positive: using them as a reference manual/ translator/ training aid.

I just wish I saw more people doing this, rather than asking them to 'draw 80% of the owl'.
