If you are a programmer using an AI LLM to help you code, are you finding it speeding you up or slowing you down? What impact has it had on your programming?

First you write in human language what you want to do

I want the extension to send a desktop notification when it is complete

When I solved one issue (usually by moving code from one place to another), it usually breaks another issue. I have been stuck in these cycles many times. Moreover, testing Chrome extension is a manual and tedious process that wasn’t automated. I think I spent more time using AI to make this extension than if I had learnt how Chrome extensions are being designed and make informed edits.

What movies and TV shows portray realistic beauty standards?

I want the extension to read the storage for the API key

I want the extension to bring the user to the option page if the API key is missing
