I work in a software house where everyone uses AI. Some of them can’t even write a single line of code, let alone analyze it. I was shocked when I saw their work is CTRL-A, CTRL-V into Claude and CTRL-V into the IDE without a single neuron being activated. They even ask it to summarize and generate a response for 3 lines of text in a Slack message! (Partially because they don’t know what they’re doing and partially because they’re too lazy to think).
Well, everyone talks enthusiastically about AI, some have unrealistic expectations (thinking that it’s actually intelligent, when it is not) but what bothers me is that they’re indeed faster than me so sometimes I think “why am I even resisting?”. Well the answer is that I love to keep my brain active and having the control of what I’m doing. Does anyone else feel kinda similar? Am I in the wrong?
P.S. Also I just want to point out that I’ve seen with my own eyes the deterioration of cerebral functions in people who heavily rely on AI. I’m not talking about just “forgetting how to code” but I see them losing space awareness (invading personal space, sitting like a liquid on the chair), self awareness (loudly burping, hoarding half-drank bottles of water on the desk), focus and they’re easily irritable. It’s multiple people behaving like that and they weren’t like this before. AI is a drug.
I think this is caused by short video formats getting the dopamine baseline so high that solving a problem gives then no joy anymore so they just use ai to do the minimum required.
Also electronic cigarates, don’t really have anything to do but since they don’t cause so much smoke idiots are using them everywhere busses, offices, waiting rooms, they’re worse than regular smokers.
Yes! Said colleagues also smoke that disgusting thing and I’m forced to inhale their shit, including nicotine
