Is this process of brain dumping faster than me just writing the code?

If I was truly going to automate this one-time task I would have to give the AI access to my browser or an API token for the repository provider, so I’m either giving it dangerous modification capability via browser automation or I’m spending even more time setting up API access and trusting that it actually knows how to interact with the service via API calls.

My company doesn’t provide Claude, they give me GitHub Copilot Pro or whatever it’s called, and when I provided the website it needed to get the RPM files I was working with it didn’t actually do anything with it. It just wrote a readme file that told me what to do. Like I mention it also just eventually mistook the remote repository as my local internal repository.

And one of the specific commands it screwed up was in my existing script and was already correct, it just decided to change it for no discernible reason. I didn’t ask it to do anything related to that particular line.

With such a high error rate, I would be hesitant to actually integrate AI to other systems to try to achieve a more fully automated workflow.
