Come to think of it, "share and enjoy" is exactly the way I would expect an AI-generated YouTube video to end.

Maybe you should considering your career could be at stake.

AI is quickly becoming an integral part of basically every career imaginable. Those that actually take the time to learn how to use it properly are going to inevitably be in a far better position than those too scared to figure it out. The real challenge is finding the balance between using AI as the tool that it is and just getting an easy answer (which, considering all the downvotes I'm getting, is probably the part yall are justifiably concerned with). We need to teach the world (ourselves) how to use AI, not avoid it, and run away like we keep doing. This cat is out of the bag and ain't never going back.

We had a fresh CS graduate who could only function with ChatGPT. He gave up thinking completely, ChatGPT whatever-latest-model was his thing. He was always arguing with us that the AI told him to do it this way or another. He could not take input from folks with two decades plus of experience during review. He bragged that AI would replace us all in a year. He did not last two months with us - my boss cut him loose after lots of bugs and hideous refactorings. He was more of a drag on the team than any help. Don't become that guy.

When I code using AI I get the best results by being very specific and write a class with pseudo code for it to fill out with the missing code.

If I just ask for it to write me a class that can X I often get some simple example code directly from stackoverflow.

It's decent at writing simple string tools etc., because that's what is out there, the day it starts writing code from API documentation will be a big milestone.

Currently it's just a parrot that knows Python.
