every time I use it, i waste hours
Yes, exactly this. It looks good, I ask for it to tweak something. It tweaks, but now something else needs adjustment. Then it comes back unusable.
It ends up taking the same time as doing it myself. There’s some value perhaps in either the novelty or engagement that keeps me focused but it’s not more efficient.
When it does work, I’m always worried it is an illusion I’ve missed something. Like how you send an email and immediately see the typo.
People who love it, love it because they don’t need to or care about having accuracy and precision in their work. Sales and marketing, management, etc. Business idiots.
