  the assumption that all code (and everything else producing digital artefacts) will be written using AI in the near future,

This is what AI providers wanted you to believe in because they have a couple of shovels to sell to you. Once you realize that the assumption is delusional, it's no longer hard to reconcile.

There's this crazy narrative that everyone starts parroting, saying the days of writing code yourself are over, now we have to use agents for everything.

No, we don't have to. We can just write code ourselves.

(My condolences to people who have jobs where AI is mandated.)

I'm in that boat - my current employer recently announced that they are tracking AI usage across the company and if you're not using enough AI you will be "replaced by someone who does".

		This seems like an awesome opportunity to sneak in some work on side projects to keep your token counts looking good.

		Your employee is very late on this one. Other companies have tried that and have already been burned by people tokenmaxxing.

It's only crazy if your goal isn't maximizing token purchases.
