Does AI Coding Actually Save Time?
Generating AI code can take time. In a recent study on ChatGPT Code accuracy showed that ChatGPT delivers working code that solves the problem about 50% of the time.
This may not sound impressive, but considering the speed of iterations possible, as you feedback errors and ask for fixes, it still beats sourcing a developer for many problems.
My Personal Experience Using ChatGPt and Bing for AI Code Generation

Using these techniques, I have been able to implement custom code features for the Professional SEO theme I am developing. You can see the theme in action at NicheMoney, my site for affiliate marketing and solopreneurs.
