One thing that has become abundantly clear from the AI craze is how many people who do programming for a living are actively hostile to fascinating new applications of computer science that open up entirely new capabilities and ways of working.
They are apparently also hostile to the people who just want to get things done. I may not love woodworking but I may still want to build my own damn boat.
I personally love programming but I don't disrespect people who are in it because they need to be or even just feel like they need to be.
Someone may say, like in this post, "AI makes my work easier", and that may be a valid point.
Someone else may say "AI has made my work much harder" [1], and that's a valid point too.
It may very well be that we'll find a place in the middle, but in the meantime it seem disingenuous to me to accept one side without acknowledging that the other is making valid points too.
