I've been telling myself these lies too. The truth is it sometimes gets it right, but you can't predict it. Yet you still try, every time. It nags at you to try another spin if you try to quit it. I know what addiction feels like and I've never felt it before from a tool.
A builder is not addicted to their tools, but he won't certainly start a project without them, if they are available. Yet, he could work without some of them. Give a circular saw to someone that can't use it, and nothing good comes out of it. Give AI to a non coder, and nothing good (that lasts) will come out of it.
