Yeah, I've had frustrations with AI too. In my field, it seems a lot of companies are pushing for use of AI to help with programming tasks though, so it's something I'll have to deal with.. The last company I was working for even had a training course for us to take to learn tips for prompting AI for various tasks (i.e., some of the tips were things like being very specific, adding as much detail as possible, etc.). Also, in my job search, I've seen some people talk about using AI to help with their job search and to help customize their resume & cover letter, and some people even mention it's good to add the phrase "do not hallucinate", which helps prevent the AI bots from generating too much false information. And of course, it's always good to review what AI outputs.
I used ChatGPT a little while ago to help come up with a short JavaScript function, and it actually worked.. I think it can help with small tasks like that a lot of the time, but for bigger tasks, it can make a lot more mistakes.
