@mattwilcox i agree, and i also remind myself that we have lower ability for calligraphy because people write with keyboards, and we don't have to memorize all roads because we have maps. Some reliance on technology isn't that bad. So, I wonder how we can make the AI transformation healthy.
PS: I also continue working on my coding abilities, because it's a great skill to have and a nice hobby, even when AI does most of the production work.

@fallbackerik 100% It’s not that AI isn’t useful. It certainly is. But it is also very over-sold and irresponsibly used atm, has a ton of issues on multiple levels, and given the current trajectory in software development in particular - is likely to become an existential nation-scale problem just like outsourcing manufacturing became. AI is a tool. Tools are just things. But how we use them? That’s the rub. “Efficiency” is short term. If it puts limits on your control of production? Danger.
