i started (re)using AI recently. it/i mostly failed until i decided on a rule.
if it's "dumb and annoying" i ask the AI, else i do it myself.
since that AI has been saving me a lot of time on dumb and annoying things.
also a few models are pretty good for basic physics/modeling stuff (get basic formulas, fetching constants, do some calculations). these are also pretty useful. i recently used it for ventilation/co2 related stuff in my room and the calculations matched observed values pretty well, then it pumped me a broken desmos syntax formula, and i fixed that by hand and we were good to go!

(dumb and annoying thing -> time-consuming to generate with no "deep thought" involved, easy to check)
