I've occasionally been experimenting with AI whilst programming.
Not in my editor, but asking it questions if I'm unsure how to do something or something isn't working.
As a pair programming partner of sorts.
Its results and suggestions are still mixed.
But I've noticed I've started to ask AI for answers to simple questions I can find or figure out myself.
Things like how to show more verbose output for a command, which I can find from the command's help text or manual.
This was part of a larger issue which, instead of asking AI, I would usually investigate by reading the available documentation or source code.
I don't want to lose my problem solving skills.
I like reading documentation and code to learn more about the tools I'm using and to solve issues I encounter.
I like to read articles others have written on their websites about the same or similar issues.
Whilst AI can be a useful tool, I don't want to become over reliant on it.
I still want to be able to investigate, solve and learn things for myself and enjoy the process.
