And when the output is off I have to go and read through everything, learn how it works and fix it, which at that point I might as well write it myself.I just don't understand what other people are seeing, I've mainly used Claude and ChatGPT, I got a free trial for premium but it's just underwhelming, their only use so far for me has been as a search engine, but they're a search engine that's wrong 20% of the time so even that use is questionable.
