Over-reliance on AI tools is probably going to be seen as one of the great mistakes of this generation of engineers.

I use AI to work through certain problems or help with semantics. 99% of the actual work still comes from my experience and skill.

My workflow is the same workflow I've always used. Work until I get stuck, have a five minute conversation with a colleage who may be slightly drunk, extract any useful information, then attempt to integrate that while I get back to work.

It's a tool to solve problems, not do work.
