alt Hacker NewsIt only hallucinates if you use it wrong. Give it enough requirements, context, keep an eye on all it does (like it were a junior developer), and you will get awesome results. AI code assistants are a fantastic tool that can make you 10-100x more productive provided that you know how to use them.
Most of the people saying the kind of things you say don't know how to properly use an AI code assistant.

That's a very lackluster argument. Even if everything you said was true (and to be clear: it absolutely isn't; LLMs will hallucinate no matter what as it's in their very nature), that's still a flaw in the tool. A good tool must not require convoluted dances to make it work halfway decently.

Sorry but this is demonstrably false. For starters, see the "R's in strawberry" meme.
