While I agree with the article, I would carry the idea further: the huge value in AI is improving ourselves. By all means use AI to help design, write tests, and implement code and while I understand this might be the big value add for corporations that may employ you, the important investments in life are in learning and self improvement. I built a good career primarily improving my own knowledge and skills, and along the way doing some useful work for my employers. I am an old man and retired so now I 100% use AI for learning.

I wonder if in the long run it's really learning in the traditional sense, or just a shallow version of it along the lines of absorbing a bit of knowledge along the lines of reading a pop science book? Nothing wrong with that but I'd argue a lot of people who think they're learning are just "recreational learning" in the sense of hobbyist fun rather than deep study. And in the long run I think there is not much value in AI beyond turning our society into a bunch of apes who know a bit of sign language.
