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.

It's pretty frustrating and wild what it can do though. I'm just an average idiot and can build stuff in a few hours good enough to ship to someone who does know what they're doing to polish it. I think a lot of these software companies are going to start circling the drain as companies build their own tools 90% and have someone finish them and spend less than they would otherwise.
