We're always talking about the good sides of AI, let's talk about the downsides for a bit, too... If I were to write code the old-fashioned way, I'd feel like I'm falling behind the industry... On the other hand, when I try to build something with AI, I feel like I'm becoming increasingly ordinary and getting dumber, and since it doesn't give me enough enjoyment or trigger a dopamine rush, it feels like the excitement of coding has been taken away from me, like a child whose toy has been snatched away, or a robot forced to move on to the next step without stopping to rest, as long as it doesn't get stuck on TOKENS... To minimize this effect, I still try to keep myself up to date by occasionally engaging in traditional research, reading documentation, and so on, but it doesn't feel like enough! How about you? What do you do to minimize this effect?
