Forgive me if "just dig your way out of the hole" doesn't sound appealing.

You're free to use whatever tools you like.

> You're free to use whatever tools you like.

this is important, i feel like a lot of people are falling in to the "stop liking what i don't like" way of thinking. Further, there's a million different ways to apply an AI helper in software development. You can adjust your workflow in whatever way works best for you. ..or leave it as is.

You're right, though I think a lot of the push back is due to the way companies are pushing AI usage onto employees. Not that complaining on HN will help anything...

No, I actually haven't made, nor desire to make, a way to automate "thinking about, researching, and solving a problem".

When you use it to lookup a single word, yeah, but people here use it to lookup thousand words at once and then can't check it all.

That doesn't make the tool bad.
