Honestly, coding with a chatbot's "help" just slows me down. Also the progress in chatbot space is minimal (at least it feels like that from an end user perspective), essentially nonexistent since like 2024. I only use them cause all search engines are broken on purpose now. It's truly terrible times we live in, but not because the robots could replace us, rather because nontechnical managers are detached from reality as they always were and want us to believe that.

The worst blow for me was search engines, you're so right that are broken on purpose now, that's a total bummer. Also wondering how Google is not loosing money from non shown ads in search

It doesn't really feel like those companies care about money anymore, to me at least it feels like we're in the middle of an ongoing total economic collapse and their actions seem to concur. Why else would they be stockpiling assets, infrastructure and all the tangible stuff they avoided so far? May sound slightly conspiracy-ish, but honestly, it's somehow the theories pushed into mainstream that are laughable nowadays.
