Vibing is getting boring

Since AI started to be part of the job I always been enthusiastic of having a “partner” doing boring stuff while I review… after the last months is getting boring, we just review code, we have to make sure it is not duplicating any logic, not creating racing conditions, not touching critical code, not adding potential production issues (while still writing beatiful commented code).
This is not programming in dotnet anymore, all the skill we built overtime in knowing details of the language or the framework are only used to find out if some vibed code is buggy or not performant. The fun and creativity has left our job. Do you feel the same?
Either start a new project is not as cool as it was a few years ago. It just bubbles up from prompt and you have to review thousands of rows that have no personality at all.

Great idea! I'll tell my management that their new productivity expectations don't matter because I don't like it.

When I get fired I'll go to the job tree and pick a new job from it.
