I've been wondering where this #ai usage ends. It's been replacing junior and mid-level engineers, cutting the path to becoming a senior engineer.
Solving complex issues with your own brain is becoming less and less common. In the meantime, we're getting more dependent on these models to do the hard work for us.
I've been looking up research claiming that our ability to think deeply and our memory are rapidly deteriorating when we heavily use AI, and that scares the shit out of me.
Two articles that I recently read about this topic that resonate with me:
1. Faster Thinking ≠ Better Thinking (https://medium.com/@Chaumeton/faster-thinking-better-thinking-41198d6fb1f9)
2. Thinking well in the age of AI (https://www.theschooloflife.com/web-article/thinking-well-in-the-age-of-ai/)
