Its just another tool (or toy), great at some stuff, almost useless or worse for another, and its fucking downed our throats at every corner, from every direction. I start to hate everything AI-infused with passion. Even here on HN, many people are not rational. I am willing to pay less for AI-anything, not the same and f_cking definitely not more.

Cargo culting of clueless managers which make long term usability of products much worse, everything requiring some stupid cloud, basic features locked up and you will be analyzed, this is just another shit on top.

You have any massive hype, you normally get this shit. Once big wave dies down with unavoidable sad moments for some, and tech progresses further (as it will) real added value for everybody may show up.

As for work - in my corporation, despite having pure dev senior role, coding is 10-20% of the work, and its part I can handle just fine on my own, I don't need babysitting from almost-correct statistical models. In fact I learn and keep fresh much better when still doing it on my own. You don't become or stay senior when solutions are handed down to you. Same reason I use git in command line and not clicking around. For code sweatshops I can imagine much more added value, but not here in this massive banking corporation. Politics, relationships, knowing processes and their quirks and limitations is what progresses stuff and gets it done. AI won't help here, if anybody thinks differently they have f_cking no idea what I talk about. In 10 years it may be different, lets open the discussion again then.
