It is difficult for me to read this and believe your brain isn't rotted
If you've become reliant on it, then your skills have atrophied. Your brain has rotted.
To your point, my documentation reading skills have certainly atrophied.
I'm not coding as much so my coding skill has likely atrophied to an extent.
It does take intentional effort to counteract this, which is why I will force myself to write code by hand still. Or why I carefully parse PR diffs and will not approve it unless I can explain what it's doing and why it's doing it that way.
I was careful to explain that there are certain points in my workflow that I leverage AI to great benefit. There are plenty of points that I do not trust it and must be the HITL, generally around exercising judgment or course correcting when the agent has gone off the rails.
I can understand why you would jump to such an assumption though. There is nuance to everything.
Yes, obviously.
Have you heard of the obesity crisis?

Yes, our diets play a big role here too, but our sedentary lifestyles, which includes driving everywhere or taking transit, surely is a factor.
So.. yes?
One can do anything they want so long as they are willing to accept the responsibility of doing so.
Software devs overusing AI then blame it for rotting their brains in your analogy would be people eating too much food and then blaming the food for making them overweight.
> Should we no longer drive or take public transit anywhere
Yes? It’s bad for the environment and living closer to the things you do is better for everyone. But not only that, but this has absolutely nothing to do with being a skilled professional. Is walking or running your job?
Yeah there’s nuance to everything.
