When I first started using AI to help with code, it felt genuinely useful. Answers were clearer, suggestions made sense, and it often saved time.

Lately, though, it feels confusing as hell. Many answers are vague, wrong, or overconfident, and I spend more time double checking than actually moving forward.

That makes me wonder, did AI actually get worse, or did we just get used to it and become more demanding? Are our expectations higher now?
