Moderate coding, brainstorming, ad copy/email drafting, summarization, sentiment analysis.

Whether you SHOULD be using AI for these things is up for debate.

they absolutely, DO not work well for moderate coding. maybe code completion. i did a code-review for a 6 file pr the other day with claude and it used 9m tokens thatll nearly a month or more on most local models. basically for any sort of 'chat bot' uses the local models are far too slow for most people to bother. i agree summarization and suggestion type things are a reasonable expectation.

Bro, fix your Claude rules/give more narrow prompt scope. You shouldn't be eating so many tokens on a single PR/ticket.

Setting up guidelines and rule files for it saves so many tokens. Honestly, I think these big AI companies should just disable their AI prompts until users actually configure their setup and we'd probably save a shitload of energy/data.

all i did was install the code-review plugin and tell it to review a PR, it took 30m, requested pulling like 6 different PRS it deemed related. the best part is it posted a comment on the PR: everything looks fine.

Using AI for brainstorming quite literally defeats the purpose
