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.

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”

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.
