I was stubborn about adopting AI is my workflow but I tried 
recently and I'm a bit productive overall. Once you have a good 
experience with a language and understanding the domain, AI is a 
helpful assistant in research and prototyping code that might 
eventually be refined for production.

It important however to know when you the suggestions are wrong, 
hence they need to gain some experience.

You should try. I recently tried a little D coding using chatgpt, 
wasn't bad considering there's not a lot of D code out there. 
It's very very good with JavaScript though.

I see AI being a very good tool for learning, research and 
prototyping.
