I don't want to discard new tech and automation all together. It's fine to make things more efficient. But this gleeful acceptance of shit output for the sake of "futuristic workflows" really bugs me.

"But it's the future! you don't want to get left behind!" Mate I've heard that line for six other technologies that nobody remembers anymore. If it IS the future, show me how it improves the end result of my work, not just my way there.

I think about this all the time. I wonder if AI will actually cause us to rubber band back into valuing craft over output and result in some novel output. I find myself more interested in using AI to get closer to the hardware instead of "getting things done" in high level languages.
