My problem with it as a scientist is that I can't trust a word it writes until I've checked everything 10 times over. Checking over everything was always the hardest part of my job. Subtle inconsistencies can lead to embarrassing retractions or worse. So the easy part is now automatic, and the hard part is 10x harder, because it will introduce mistakes in ways I wouldn't normally do, and therefore it's like I've got somebody working against me the whole time.
Yes, this is exactly how I feel about AI generating code as well.
Reviewing code is way harder than writing it, for me. Building a mental model of what I want to build, then building that comes very naturally to me, but building a mental model of what someone else made is much more difficult and slow for me
Feeling like it is working against me instead of with me is exactly the right way to describe it
