I have been reading a lot that 90% of their code is AI generated, companies are pushing developers to use AI as it makes them fast. But I am a little cautious of believing them. Is it true? Also sorry I didn't find a css career subreddit so I am asking here.

AI is quite useful. Especially for prototyping and visualizing stuff. Doing array[:-4] or some other nonsense on a column has never been fun for me. It is also amazing at reading manuals and answering questions.

Hallucinations are also becoming more bearable. Accurately understanding the problem and especially the solution is still the most important part of the job.
