> How many different tools have you ever used? New build system? New linter? How did you know if you wanted to run those on the command line or in your IDE?

In what way is this analogous? Running scripts is vastly different than AI codemod. I could easily answer how when and why a build system would be plugged in, and linting and formatting are long-established pathways.

On the flipside there are barely even established practices, let alone best ones, for using AI. The point being offered is that AI companies offer shockingly little guidance on how to use their apparently amazing tool.

I personally have never used AI to author code, so I don't really know how the story I provided proves anything to you. I like it to answer questions about why something isn't working to help give me some leads, and it is good at telling you how to use a new framework quickly, but that's a pretty different practice than it authoring code. Seems like you're kinda dodging the question too.
