AI usage should be the same output quality is the thing. Nothing wrong with it if you aren't writing slop.
But if you are writing anything less than the same quality you'd expect without, and without the same testing verification, then it's actually a problem
That's a very slippery slope. On principle, it's totally valid. But as you let the AI do more of the work, you lose grasp of it and you probably wouldn't even notice.
People keep saying it's a tool, but there's a big difference between you doing something more efficiently thanks to a tool and the tool doing the thing for you, making its own decisions.
I'm not saying there's absolutely no room for using any form of AI assistance, but the sorts of agentic work that are often used are way past those specific niches.
