I've been using the AI to help me with some beginner level rust compilation checks recently.
I never once got an accurate solution, but half the time it gave me a decent enough keyword to google or broken pattern to fix myself. The other half of the time it kept giving me back my own code proudly telling me it fixed it.
Don't worry though, AGI is right around the corner. Just one more trillion dollars bro. One trillion and we'll provide untold value to the shareholders bro. Trust me bro.
