> copy pasting chunks of code from one place to another and then modifying those chunks

That's not how you program. I've never seen anyone programing in this way unless they were just starting.

Edit: if you find yourself copying chunks and modifying them, you probably need to create an abstraction. Don't mean to be rude, just honestly that is my personal experience.

I am so sorry that this is the experience you have. It sounds like such a drag! Of course all grunt work should be automated; that is rather the point of the industry.

I suppose a reason I feel little interest in applying AI to coding may be that my experience is nothing like you describe.

Yes.

I don't have the impression GenAI can replace me, and I'm not even a 10x Dev.

Yet, it makes much of the daily task more bearable.
