1
True, but… allows to agree with someone while adding a different point of view. This phrase is useful in discussions where you want to recognize a valid point while presenting your own argument. For example:
Person 1: AI tools can speed up coding.
Person 2: True, but they still make mistakes that need human review. - This person agrees that AI helps with coding but points out that it's not perfect and still requires human oversight.
