Ask HN: Does Coding with AI Reduce Procrastination?

Summary

A Hacker News discussion asks whether using AI while coding helps people procrastinate less. One commenter says the “empty page” problem has nearly disappeared because they can begin with a casual conversation about a topic before moving into the actual task. They describe this conversational start as a way to ease into solving the problem. The same commenter also says they now often feel burned out from getting everything instantly. The discussion therefore presents both a possible benefit for starting work and a reported downside associated with constant immediate answers, without establishing a broader conclusion.
