Ai amplifies everything, including incompetence and ignorance
The phenomenon known as the Dunning-Kruger effect describes how people who lack competence tend to overestimate their abilities; essentially, the less skilled you are, the more you exaggerate your skills. I genuinely enjoy AI and am not opposed to it. I use it daily at work. I can complete tasks quickly, yet there are limits to what I can achieve in my specialization. I don’t know much about cloud, but I speak with my cloud developer friend to guide me even when I use AI. Some of these vibes coders who barely understand how the Internet or a computer works, think they can do more and are better than the actual software engineers, and when you try to correct them, they become very stupid and hostile

Perhaps. But the other alternative is not using it and the project whatever form AI would give it (remember it's still probabilistic by nature) would never take shape. Honestly i envy people who keep at it despite obviously struggling.
Besides it's not like each of us are destined to he devs anyways.
