Even if I stopped using AI to code tomorrow, (not feasible because whats expected of my output has already exploded), it wouldnt matter: Even if I hand crafted every line of code no one would *realize* that's what I'd done, theyd just assume it was vibed. I spent my life developing this skill.

It now feels like a wasted life. Because a handful of companies took everything I and all other engineers wrote and gave away for free, and fed it into the belly of a horrible machine so that it can regurgitate bits of it back to anyone on demand.

I’m not 100% cynical about this view, it’s a bit hard to feel proud of that when it’s going to cause chaos and mass unemployment for a number of people and funnel trillions to 4 global megacorps But I do see what you mean
