Ask HN: Advice for someone who wants to try AI-assisted coding?

Hi, I am a soon-to-be-47 developer with C, C++, Java, PHP, Python, Typescript experience, working in the field since 2002.

I am starting a new project and I would like to experiment with some AI assistants when it comes to coding. It will be a Python project that will access Microsoft cloud using the Graph 1.0 API.

One advantage of the situation is that this project is a bit standalone and I don't have to feed it 2000 already existing classes from an existing legacy codebase to give it a context to work with.

What would you recommend me?

Are there any dark patterns involved, e.g. de-facto un-cancellable subscriptions that will make me cancel my card instead?

I would be happy hearing your experience and tales from the battlefield.
