I usually ask AI to summarize it and then I get a pretty good idea of what it was meant to do. It's just another tool to me. AI generated code sucks but it's nice when it's a quick summary.

It's a great tool. Summaries are fantastic and "what would be a good way to code this snippet" often teaches me something new.

I also find it's helpful to ask about best practices when I'm not sure.

Anything beyond short scripts, though, and you're going to spend more time than you saved fixing it.

This is a solid use of AI.

Basically the equivalent of saying "Take a look at these characters and run it against a huge database to see if you find anything similar with documentation of its purpose"
