I really do think that people who rely on AI to make architectural dissensions will simply have a bad time later down the road when it turns out that the AI made a stupid decision.

I have noticed myself a 3 months or so ago sometimes asking AI questions for things that I knew the answer to (but had to think about) and my solution would have been better. Once I realized it I realized how despite always telling my self to think about the result I was still allowing myself to hand over some of my thinking to the AI.

What I have started doing is still doing lots of things without AI and trying to not lose those skills because I think they are still needed but AI can lull you into handing over your prefrontal cortex, which is scary.

Also, handing over the work to AI robs you of learning and understanding. Let’s say you write a ticket for a feature and that description is good enough that an AI agent can implement it from start to finish. The AI will then discover things while implementing the feature, and will use those learning to make the feature work. That learning will then be discarded once the AI is done. No one will be able to partake or share the knowledge with others. Sure, some of it can be saved in form of comments, but not everything.

Same mental state i'm now, back from holidays. AI-free diet for a while. Nothing scarier than realizing that "smart" laziness was simply hiding the beginning of incompetence.
