Yup. I have embraced LLM usage since it's obvious this genie is not going back in the bottle and they are objectively force-multipliers at certain tasks. But I didn't get into software engineering to be productive, I fell into this career because I loved building things and it just sort of evolved into a pretty lucrative hobby.

AI is completely sucking the enjoyment out of my work.

It's like they invented a robot that can build whatever you want out of Legos. You'll never have to touch your Legos again! /s
