AI is not an expert programmer [today]. and it doesnt take an expert programmer to arrive at that conclusion.

I don't care if it's a human or a robot telling me, I just want to get unstuck and I've been getting unstuck more since the advent of LLMs than in the rest of my programming career. Digging through bad documentation and Googling for old form posts of similar-but-not-quite-the-same-issues was always the worst part of programming to me, and I'm glad there's a tool that finally solved that problem.
an expert can write 10 lines of code that will be hyper fast while an LLM will write 30 lines that are super slow. both "will work", but one will fall over under load and will be hard to maintain and the other will not.
