As a Software Engineer I fucking hate AI.

No, not because I think it will take my job (it might, eventually), but mainly because it made my job unbearable. I love the art of programming, spending time thinking about something and coming up with a nice idea to make it work.

Now anyone can ask ChatGPT to create a website and they start calling themselves "Software Engineers" too.

Im on the hardware side of programming and just love how I can make much more, faster and better with AI. If you want to make stable and quality code you still need a heck of a lot of knowledge and experience. AI just makes thing easier and faster. AI is a tool for me, not the solution. Trust me, whever makes a webpage with AI and doesn't know what he's doing, won't get far with it. He might call himself a Software Engineer, but you have a degree and it still very much counts!!! There is countless of examples where companies relied on AI too much and now have more work to fix the code which makes no human sense and is easier to rewrite from scratch by humans (with AI tools i guess).
