2. Write good hand written documentation, if AI generates it and people reading it with AI. Its no different than 0 documentation.
3. Problem solving, AI sometime lacks or incapable of comprehending complex scenario where there multiple moving pieces which AI doesn't know what it does. let's say each pieces is proprietary stuffs and isn't appearing in AI data set so it didnt know. | null | null |
