I write code myself all day, as I have always done

That's great. If you enjoy it, do what you love

more and more software engineers are finally starting to see the consequences of relying on LLMs for software development.

And they are adapting how they use said LLMs, not ending its use. People are developing and refining it constantly. They will keep refining until they get consistently good results.

Writing code has never been the bottleneck.

The problem is always ultimately with management. But if management is able to give an impossible deadline, and AI is able to meet that deadline, wouldn't that make a human writing, testing, refining the code the bottleneck? Management could make bad decisions, see the results of those decisions very quickly after AI writes it, and have the AI revise it (wash rinse repeat) much faster than humans could write and revise the same code. To management's dismay, humans are also more likely to give their opinions about how their idea is unrealistic. Management doesn't care what you think, they want you to do what they say. And AI does just that. Management's poor decisions would have even fewer consequences since it could be revised so quickly.

I don't even like reviewing ai code generated at my direction, reviewing other peoples is awful

Also in all the places I worked 99% of the code was not copy-pasted.

Yea, it was attempted humor. The classic "copy paste" joke, though I admit it didn't read well.

AI generated slop

It might be slop now, but we can't assume it will always be that. If AI gets to a point where large pieces of code can be written almost instantly with zero bugs, then we will definitely have code written almost exclusively by AI. I agree that some of the very complex stuff would actually be cheaper to pay someone than pay the for the computational power for an AI to do it, but that is probably about it.

Whatever people feel about that is totally fair. I am not saying I think it's better, I just see that is the ultimate outcome. And an outcome I think most of us will live to see in the not so distant future.

These chat bots are spreading psychosis on a scale so massive the damage is gonna take years to undo.

take years to undo

You said it would take years to undo, saying it will be undone. What were you talking about being undone in a thread about code being written by AI, if it wasn't about undoing code writing AI? If the psychosis is induced by AI, wouldn't the usage of said AI have to cease?
