there's a difference between using AI for creative human activities and using AI to do something that would require hours of menial scraping through code, you've never programmed in your life have you?
I have in fact done programming. I’ve programmed embedded systems, one hexadecimal instruction at a time. It was a pain, but it was worth learning to do.
AI is borh very useful and widely used in the field. I assume you arent that used to coding if you can't see its uses. Have you ever needed to deal with datasheets n such? You know, 1000+ page documents from which you need like 1 specific piece of info?
Or finding literature/competitors for background research? Claude allowed me to find a Spanish company that specializes in essentially exactly what my client wanted. Something I couldn't find after just going on google for like an hour. (It's also good at finding patents)
Need to make a chart to show your image recognition stats, such as a scatter plot or box plots for your features? Well this one time use code might as well be made wirh AI and just checked for accuracy. Since its just a small code with lots of repeats (for making the plots).
And we haven't even started about agentic workflow. Where multiple bots create and check eachithers work, whilst also making a concrete plan n everything

As long as they explain what the ai did it can still be good
If it's there unspecified it's probably ass
