Ngl I was doing that for a while, google search is ass these days, even 4 years ago, ai was more useful for finding sources than google. I was using bingai at the time and I would also google and try to find sources the regular way, I had way more success just telling ai to only return edu sources (or similar instructions, idr exactly since it’s been a while) People that seek easy results with no effort could’ve got them through chegg back before ai really took off. It was always an active choice to learn how to do a problem rather than just grabbing an answer and faking the proof. (Ngl mostly because exams are proctored or in person, but that hasn’t changed even with AI, students will still fail to passs their classes and get degrees if they rely purely on AI)

Useless? No. Look at the Linux kernel, nothing is written by “AI” but adjacent llm tools are used. It depends entirely on what and how. If something is vibe coded it can fuck all the way off. If they use a llm to point a human at possible issues (and the human knows what they’re doing) then the worst that happens is the human wastes some time chasing a nonexistent bug.

There will be an interesting time, a few years out. When all venture capital for AI has dried up and AI tokens are 10x as expensive. All of the passion projects by non-developers who can’t maintain them will dry up. AI, in the state it exists is a really interesting experiment on what would people make if coding were easily accessible to all. But projects like that, that are against Youtube TOS, which will require massive upkeep will go fallow the first time they make it more difficult to access the data. A more useful project would be to make a framework to play local files, do lookups though discogs, stuff that won’t change much long term, then modularize the youtube connector so when it fails, the project not useless out of the gate. This is also screaming bloody murder for a Google cease-and-desist.
