I Tried AI for Programming and Article Writing

Hi,

I wanted to share my experience.  When AI came out I feared it would 
take over my niche as a PHP developer.  After taking AI for a test run 
this is what I discovered:

1) The application analysis and design still needs to be performed by a 
human.

2) The human, in my case, the developer, needs to have a decent 
understanding of what one asks AI to create.  I asked for a simple M-V-C 
app and it provided one that was very interesting, however it did not 
process the URL to get the Controller, Action, and segments.

3) Humans will still need to test the app once complete.  AI does create 
some automated testing, however human testing is still required.

4) AI is great for learning.  I found the PHP AI code to be more precise 
and did things differently than I.  Great learning opportunity.

5) I asked AI to help me understand what the Linux logs were used for 
and it gave me what appeared to be something I can learn from.  It 
appears to be much better than Google.

6) As listed above, AI can be used to learn and build skills.

7) I had Ai write me an article and it spit out about 650 words that 
could be the bases of an article for a blog post.

When it is all said and done, I fear AI much less.
