Exactly. I use ai tools daily and they bite me. Not enough to stop but enough to know. Recently was building a ws merger of sorts based on another libs sub protocol. I wasnt familiar with the language or protocol but ai sure was. However the ai used a wrong id when repacking messages. Unless i knew the spec (which i didnt) i never would have known. Eventually, i did read the spec and figured it out.

To be clear here i give the spec to ai many times asking what was off and it never found the issue.

Once i did get it working, ai one shotted converting it from python to go with the exception of the above mistake being added back in again.

You dont know what you dont know. That final 25% or 5% or whatever is where the money is at, not the 80%. Almost doesnt count.
