“i am fine with stolen labor because it wasn’t mine. My coworkers are falling behind because they have ethics and don’t suck corporate cock but instead understand the value in humanity and life itself.”
Then most likely you will start falling behind… perhaps in two years, as it won’t be as noticable quickly, but there will be an effect in the long term.
This is a myth pushed by the anti-ai crowd. I’m just as invested in my work as ever but I’m now far more efficient. In the professional world we have code reviews and unit tests to avoid mistakes, either from jr devs or hallucinating ai.
“Vibe coding” (which most people here seem to think is the only way) professionally is moronic for anything other than a quick proof of concept. It just doesn’t work.
I use gpt to prototype out some Ansible code. I feel AI slop is just fine for that; and I can keep my brain freer of YAML and Ansible, which saves me from alcoholism and therapy later.
I couldn’t care less about AI art. I use AI in my work every day in dev. The coworkers who are not embracing it are falling behind.
Edit: I keep my AI use and discoveries private, nobody needs to know how long (or little) it took me.

Lmao relax dude. It’s just software.

I know senior devs who fell behind just because they use too much google.
This is demonstrably much worse.
Lmao the brain drain is real. Learning too much is now a bad thing
