How Do You Incorporate AI in Your Programming Routine?

Hey PH developers! I'm curious to know how many of you are integrating or using AI tools (CoPilot, ChatGPT, etc.) in your daily programming tasks. How often do you turn to it, and for what specific challenges or problems? Are there any unique or unconventional ways you've found it useful? Excited to hear your from you!

Copilot is well integrated with VSCode, so I'm using it daily without any intention. I use ChatGPT when I am stuck with something Copilot doesn't solve well. ChatGPT is really helpful, but depending on the language, the output is not so high quality. For example, I'm using Elixir mainly, but ChatGPT has less knowledge about Elixir than JavaScript. Also, since the JavaScript ecosystem is changing rapidly, and many libraries are abandoned, sometimes ChatGPT's suggestions are not so useful. But overall, those 2 tools are great:)

@atsuhiro_teshima The subtlety of Copilot is amazing. Don't really need to think about it, but it's there if you need it. ChatGPT is excellent for Python, but as of recently, have been writing a lot of Go code (where it's much less impressive).
