I'm having my first extended experienced with AI (ChatGPT-5) using it to write code for a web site I'm developing. I have found it to be both amazingly capable and aggravatingly stupid. The upshot is that it was a great help in composing the basic code for the web site but very difficult and time consuming dealing with debugging and adding changes to the code (for instance, it keeps for some reason reintroducing code bugs that were resolved before and, doing repeated unhelpful things that were not requested).

There is great potential here IMO but quite a ways to go before it becomes mainstream.
