You have more downvotes than upvotes, but you are right. It is impractical and unrealistic now to say that you just won't use it AND expect that the environment around you will keep working without change in the same way. We are already well into the "horse is out of the barn / writing is on the wall / monolith has revealed itself" part of this.

We have changed our advice from the early days of "don't copy and paste stuff from stackoverflow (later chatgpt)" to simply "you are responsible for everything you commit. We also require tests and documentation for every change that is proposed, and we no longer allow 'didn't have time / didn't need it / it's stupid' as permanent reasons to skip. PRs must have a meaningful description written in language understandable by an audience wider than you/your immediate peers and you are no longer allowed to just say 'resolved' when resolving something. You must show that you are aware of the change you are making and can describe the change you are making when asked. You have a lot to do and the sprint is over in 10 days."

    No worries. I don't post to get magic internet karma. I'm a thirty year veteran and hate to see kids quitting or ruining their career development because "ai bad". I'm also worried about brain fog but it's impossible to deny what opus 5.5 and even sonnet can accomplish when guided correctly. I built a state of the art Bevy like ECS in a week. I hand curated the external api but left all the implementation to ai. I did ensure it was doing performance and regression tests on everything. I would not be able to build that in a year. Wasm kernels, multi threading, web gpu execution. Just learning each area in detail would take months consecutively.

    The world has changed.

    Personally, I just don’t understand how people can so easily agree to use someone else’s "AI" in someone else’s cloud for even slightly important projects of their own. It’s like just giving to "AI" all your ideas and projects for training...
