I'd rather spend my time writing the code myself because it is enjoyable, then spend the same amount of time gathering context and verbosely explaining it in text to an AI

> Highly recommend providing lots of context + breaking down the problem more.

I don't have to do this with a human, I can delegate and know they will on their own. Also, the AI will make the same mistake if I come back a week later, a human learns online. This is at the core of lost time and I don't think AIs are close to this level without an advancement that takes us beyond transformers

Interesting! I find I very often have to do this with humans. But yes, the repeat mistakes is a thing. This is where ensuring I output context along the way is helpful. Although it's maybe annoying to "re-refer" to the context, I find that it helps the AI make the same mistakes less often
