𝐒𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐓𝐢𝐭𝐥𝐞: Ctrl+C / Ctrl+V / Ctrl+AI: A New Era for Developers 𝗦𝘆𝗻𝗼𝗽𝘀𝗶𝘀: Let’s face it: developers have always loved a good shortcut. Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V built half the internet. But now, a new shortcut is taking over: AI. In this talk, we’ll explore how AI tools like ChatGPT and GitHub Copilot are changing the way we write code, fix bugs, and maybe even think about our jobs. You’ll see what works, what really doesn’t, and how to use these tools without accidentally deploying Skynet. We’ll cover the good (speed boosts, fewer boring tasks), the bad (bugs, hallucinations, copy-pasted mistakes), and the awkward (AI-generated code that looks confident but is totally wrong). Most importantly, we’ll talk about how to use AI responsibly, so it helps you (not replaces you). Whether you're excited, skeptical, or just here for the memes, come learn what it means to code in the age of Ctrl+AI.
