I am such a one, and AI isn't useful to me. The answers it gives me are routinely so bad, I can just answer my own questions with a search engine or product documentation faster than I can get the AI to give me something. Often enough I can never get the AI to give me something useful. The current products are shockingly bad relative to the level of hype being thrown about.

Yeah, I agree. This has been a big source of imposter syndrome for me lately, since all of this AI coding stuff has skyrocketed

People making wild claims about building these incredible things overnight, but meanwhile I can't get anything useful out of them at all

Something isn't adding up. Either I'm not a very good programmer, or others are lying about how much the AI is doing for them

And I'm pretty sure I'm a pretty good programmer
