In my view its a tool, at least for the moment. Learn it, work out how it works for you, and what it doesn't work for you. But assuming you are the professional they should trust your judgement, and you should also earn that trust. That's why you pay skilled people for. If that tool isn't the best to getting the job done use something else. Of course that professional should be evaluating tools and assuring us/management (whether by evidence or other means) that the most cost efficient and quality product is being built like any other profession.

I use AI, and for some things its great. But I'm feeling like they want us to use the "blunt instrument" that is AI when sometimes a smaller, more fine grained tool/just handcrafting code for accuracy at least for me is quicker and more appropriate. The autonomy window as I recently heard it expressed.
