I will use old machine until the damn thing quits on me and be happy.

Or all of the above while still not being “as secure and private as promised”.

This article confirms my own experiences with AI. I spend a lot more time reviewing, reprompting, and tweaking than I save on coding. Having to double check or fight it to get what I want is not a time saver. Not to say that it doesn’t save time when it is right, but the thing that I never seem to get across to proponents of AI is that anytime I need to reprompt or refine, I have lost. I have officially wasted time at this point compared to simply referencing the documentation. Unless I’m generating a significant portion of code which only needs minor tweaks. I’m generally not saving time.

Depends on how the project and how long they have been around.
