Let me start off by saying that I am not “Anti-AI”, AI is a useful tool that can greatly improve a developer’s speed. This comes at a price, though, which I am not sure, I am willing to pay.

I’ve tried it before; tab-completing entire functions feels awesome. Having an LLM generate dozens of lines of wrapper functions that I would need minutes to write is extremely convenient. Phrasing that commit message in a way that conforms to the guidelines as a non-native speaker is an enormous time-saver. AI can be an incredibly useful tool, but let’s not kid ourselves: you’re not reading the code. At most you’re skimming it and editing minor things.
