It's real for me as a non coder previously uploading a python script asking it to add this function or that function used to break it now usually it just works at least with Claude and Chat Gpt models. Google Gemini still breaks stuff but rumors are their new flash model that will be announced soon is very good. I am usually working with data in csv files and generating spreadsheet pdf etc and the results for that has improved dramatically.

That’s me. Built a scraper do dump stuff to a csv of a list of images for further ocr and openCV processing. Now I have a convenient list of hits once I run the batch that used to be a loooot of manual sifting.

Once I work out the kinks, I’ll be able to further automate it.

Would have taken 10-100x as long for me to build it without AI and the AI version is probably better.

But yeah, I have enough knowledge to know what prompts are needed and figure out those “oh, I think it’s running slow or failing because of xyz” and further prompt to improve it based on that what I think it should do instead.

And I know where to make slight changes without burning my allotments.
