I’ve had some fun with AI image generation. And rephrasing text to make it as if it was written by a WH40K Ork is hilarious.
Any real use case for AI I have yet to find. All code it writes is extremely convoluted if it even runs at all. Much more than my own and I’m not even a real programmer.
My manager thankfully doesn’t require me to use it but the higher ups are really enthusiastic about AI for some reason.
The only time I have used it is for poorly-documented libraries as a step before “just try to read through all the source code” by asking it to create an example using some function or usecase. I’ve had to do that maybe twice ever. It might be useful in PRs, as some others in our company keep adding copilot as a reviewer, but I’ve seen it make some dumb mistakes but also find some things others missed.
As for having it write actual code, I rejected a PR for having unmaintainable code. The person, who didn’t normally work in the language in question, had used AI to generate it.
