   There was a recent study that using AI made developers who know   
   what they are doing slower, although they thought they were faster.   
   Also, my general observation (so far, at least) is that LLM-based   
   AIs are pretty useless for any work for which requires precision   
   (and, almost invariably, intuition) in engineering fields.   
   Maybe next year, maybe in five years, maybe never.
