You basically need to question AI answers over and over again, recheck the documentation you assumed it would be checking. At which point you may as well just Google it yourself.

The main usecase of AI for me at least, is using it as a search engine. But it's basically even worse than a search engine. If you don't tell it to turm of it's 'peeaoanlity' it gives you wrong answers in 'kooky' 'fun' tone. The sort of humour only coders would find funny cos they have a shite sense of humour.

I assume it's a better experience when you use paid AI. Although I think the sense of humour and tone will always be awful.

Try Notebook LM from Google. It lets you specify your documentation/research and its results become way, way more on point.

But yeah these hallucinations happen even in paid apps, it’s silly

I'll give this a go.

It's annoying that clause by default has a 'personality' that you can't turn off in settings. You have to say each bloody time.

The default is 'kooky'. I hate coders more and more each day.

“If you want, I can do X, Y or Z. Just say the word!”

Yeah it’s like they were programmed to be Kenneth from 30 Rock
