I wrote an essay about why I'm done using AI for coding, even if it costs me my job and career: brettcodes.com/im-done-usin... The basic gist is: AI made me a worse, apathetic programmer. I think it's bad for humanity, the planet, and the craft of software engineering. And I'm done using it.

It is 2032. There is one computer. It travels the country, letting those willing to wait hours in line the chance to load a file or play a little game once more. It is filled with annoying AI tools that are still wrong. After you use it for a few minutes, you return to the DRAM mines.

Seeing people talk about genAI use in video games and being like "Well it's fine if it's just coding" No, absolutely not. You do not encroach upon my field and decide it's okay just because you think it's less artistic somehow. Video game code is art too. Way more than it's science, even.
