It did help me make a basic script and add it to task scheduler so it runs and fixes my broken WiFi card so I don't have to manually do it. (or better said, helped me avoid asking arrogant people that feel smug when I tell them I haven't opened a command prompt in ten years)
I feel like I would have been able to do that easily 10 years ago, because search engines worked, and the 'web wasn't full of garbage. I reckon I'd have near zero chance now.
I actually ended up switching to Kagi for this exact reason. Google is basically AI at the start usually spouting nonsense then sponsor posts and then a bunch of SEO optimized BS.
Thankfully paying for search circumvents the ads and it hasn’t been AI by default (it has it but it’s off) and the results have been generally closer to 2010s Google.
did you not read the damn post?
That is pretty cool, but it would have been possible, as someone else mentioned before AI ruined search, and there's still an "unknown" element (unless you've checked it line by line and know what everything does and have confirmed that's the best way to do it) that would not be there otherwise.
If the entirety of the AI hype was "a small script helper tool to get you started and tackle little things like startup scripts" I don't think anyone would have such a problem with it.
The post is more about the ubiquity of the hype and the utter refusal to acknowledge the obvious limitations and risks.

I did not claim that the OP was saying it's sometimes useful.
