Yeah if you treat it is a junior engineer, with the ability to instantly research a topic, and are prepared to engage in a conversation to work toward a working answer, then it can work extremely well.
Some of the best outcomes I’ve had have needed 20+ prompts, but I still arrived at a solution faster than any other method.
In the end, there is this great fear of "the AI is going to fully replace us developers" and the reality is that while that may be a possibility one day, it wont be any day soon.
You still need people with deep technical knowledge to pilot the AI and drive it to an implemented solution.
AI isnt the end of the industry, it has just greatly sped up the industry.
