I finally tried an AI coding assistant and it completely broke my workflow for 3 days

Last Thursday I decided to give GitHub Copilot a real shot on a Python project I've been tweaking for months. Instead of saving time, it kept suggesting blocks of code that looked right but had hidden bugs (like a missing import or wrong variable name). After 3 days of chasing errors, I turned it off completely and rewrote everything from scratch. Has anyone else had this happen where an AI tool actually slowed you down more than it helped?

@thomas291 nailed it - I only let Copilot write the boring glue code now.

Read somewhere that AI tools work best on boilerplate code, not complex project logic.
