That might be true for your stack but I am employed as a Laravel Web Developer and AI can code faster and better than me. Honestly, I have no idea how I am still employed.

I did start learning Rust recently, without using AI at all, and the process of coding is very fun. But I can't help but feel like the farmer who refused to use tractors...

Personally I just wait to be laid off, so I am forced to change things.

Don’t sweat it… tractors aren’t driving themselves yet so you’ve got a bit of time left

I think my point is that not everything requires a well-engineered solution. Many times a badly-made cheap solution is a better alternative than a well-made expensive solution. That is true of AI "art" too. If you need a picture for a throwaway slide deck, fine. If you're designing the cover of your new book, maybe not.
