Are you still using AI tools to help with development? (self.experienced_devs)

I trialed GitHub Copilot and used ChatGPT for a bit, but recently I found myself using them less and less.

I've found them valuable when doing something new(at least to me), but for most of my day-to-day it seems to have lost it's luster.

I just don't trust these tools to write code as efficiently as I can, knowing they are just backed by LLMs. If I have to spend my time vetting what they spit out to ensure correctness, efficiency, security, etc, then I might as well just do it myself from the beginning. I'm sure some find these tools useful and timesaving, but they're not for me.
