Right? That is not my preferred skill set and I don't enjoy those things. I like understanding and designing patterns. I like feeling connected to the code and problems I'm solving, and I like feeling clever when I come up with solutions.
AI takes all of that away. It's got more data than I can ever cram in my skull, more energy than I'll ever have available to me, and it's being forced on us at every corner so it has access to things I'll never see.
Honestly I would be okay with LLMs if they weren't killing our planet and robbing us of our humanity and creativity.
