Ugh I feel like this general topic had been beaten to death, every article inevitably references the same viral moments on Twitter and draws roughly the same conclusions.
But these articles get posted and upvoted cause we developers just eat that shit up (if I’m being honest I do at least, every time I see these kinds of posts I always smirk cause I know what the comments section is gonna be like).
Unfortunately it seems like the more you use AI, the dumber you become; I suspect these discussions will get more and more dramatic until we have two camps that don't even understand what the other side is saying anymore.
They said the same about search engines. People nowadays don't look up the index cards themselves and most kids probably can't figure it out. But other growth industries morph on top of what comes next. That's where the money is now.
