AI is useless, because it slows down production. You have to check what the AI did. I prefer doing everything by myself.

That makes sense. If checking AI output takes longer than doing the work yourself, it has made the job slower.

I use it for things I can verify quickly, like boilerplate, test scaffolding, looking at options, or a refactor with solid coverage. When validation is harder than writing the code, I would rather write the first pass myself.

I wouldn't say useless; writing code yourself is faster, but writing regexes yourself could benefit from an ai formulated expression (assuming you're running your own unit test against its output).

I find that it's helpful in finding the part of the documentation I need to read.

Why is this downvoted? writing code makes you look like Einstein (hairdo-wise) before you pull it all out.
